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.
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

Reason: spelling
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.
