I have setup a lot of Auburn and Eaton units in my shop. I have not had any problem with anyone coming back and complaining of problem with either one. I personal run Eaton in all of my cars I build. I do like with Eaton’s you can rebuild them and change the spring rate for the side gears from a 400lbs to 800lbs spring.

Default Where can one get rebuild parts for an Eaton?

I've got an Eaton posi in the 8.5" 10 bolt I'm building for my S10 and I'd like to rebuild it before I put it into the truck. Does anyone offer side gears to allow bigger axles, too? 10 bolts seem to be forgotten on most vendors websites.
Thanks.

Ric

Default posi

my vote would be for the Eaton OEM till 87 they used to be cheap but now they bring 150-175$ for nice ones on e-bay near bulletproof- the onlyt guys I know that have broke them are running Big blocks, slicks and lots of nitrous.
