Re: 9-bolts...

I thought the 9 bolt was supposed to be by far the strongest of our factory rear ends. What gear were you running? And do you think it's salvagable/rebuildable?
I'm running the posi 2.77 freway flyer gear and I want to find another 9 bolt to add the lower gears in.
Good Luck getting it switched over. Hopefully the brakes will all be compatible. Sincerely,Nitro

Just cuz it was stronger then the ten bolt, does not guarantee it will never fail.

But I'm surprised your 10-bolt is still alive TraviZ

I love my Aussie Rearend, I think I'll name it "Mel".

Yeah, no traction, no problem!

That's why my 285's need Mel. 3.45's and a great posi make it all that much sweeter.
