Did I see correctly you're going with an 8.2 10-bolt rear end? Can you tell me some more about what you did to that unit?The car looks great so far,killer work!...cheers

Dave

Upgraded with a modified 31 spline Eaton posi unit, Yukon gear 24150 3:55 ring n pinion and Moser 154H alloy custom fit 31 spline axles.

Thanks for the info Vince...again great work.I've heard as well as read that the 8.2 wasn't worth building when compared to it's 8.5 big brother but with all the updated internals I'd guess it's a tough enough unit when done right...I have two 8.2 units in my garage which is why I was asking...thx

Hi Dave,

Yeah they are ok stock, better if upgraded.

I would not use them for drag racing. From what I have killed in the past the weak points are the pinions and axles. Fix those two deals and you are golden.

When ever someone tells me they suck I just say "yeah, but they are lighter".

Have not posted in a while, figured id circle back with updates...

Also were working on cut outs to replace the door handles that light up on approach of the vehicle with the Digital guard dawg key less entry system.

It looks like a nice set up, how close do you get to it before it lights up?

Thanks,

Roughly, 5 feet but its adjustable.

I talked with dakota digital about my dash as i was not happy with the silver and red theme. they changed the dash to black with led white lettering and red pointers. Looks much better!
