Starting to think through the rear end. Apparently the rear has been swapped out. All of the bolts are very loose (1/2 way or more down the thread) and to top it all off it's a GM 10 bolt.
That kinda sucks and is forcing a change of plans. The 10 bolt won't hold up to what the car is capable of.
Started looking at the options, which include:
- Strange S60
- Strange 9"
- Moser 12 bolt
- Moser M9
Frankly, because of the strength and that I will have less in friction loss, I've been leaning towards the S60. Nothing like bullet proof -- do it right the first time kind of planning.
Thinking a bit farther, and perhaps a throw back to my Jeeping days, I was thinking of an e-locker. Auburn has the ECTED posi-traction and locking differential for the Dana 60. Eaton has a ELocker, which is a full open diff or locked.
Sure, there are mechanical (such as OX Locker) or air (ARB Air Locker), but having the e-locker would be nice if I wanted to run it on the drag strip every so often and having posi the other times (such as autocross).
What do you think? Too far out there for an idea? Any idea if the ECTED would handle the torque?
