Re: ROARING REAREND ?????'S
you should ask about that on a 4th gen site... but as a 4th gen owner myself no the rearend shouldnt be "roaring" that isnt normal... normally a sign of damage or inproper setup due to previous damage... notice the damage comes up alot however it shouldnt be to expensive to fix properly... but it means it has been beaten as these rearend tend to hold up to quite a pounding

if the price is good, go for it. But assume the rear will have to be replaced or repaired.

Re: ROARING REAREND ?????'S
I have a rear end from a 2000 SS. It howls when I'm cruising. Goes away on throttle lift, and goes away when I'm accelerating. I'd always assumed it was abused in it's former life behind a cammed LS1....
Worst case, you can find these rear ends for anywhere from $200 - $400.
