this guy wants 1850 for the rear end to be redone with a aurburn posi unit,3.42 gears,retime my speedo, and new bearing and new rear brakes. i had the fisrt rebuiltwith gears and springs 2nd the whole thing and now i want something that i wanna do right. i just don't know what to do and there are too many choices out there. oes anybody make a whole kit for not that much like a 9 bolt for 1500 the whole kit or a bullet proof 10 bolt

 

How are you trashing rears like that in a 14˝-second automatic car with a stock converter?

The rear in these cars is identical in every way to the ones in the LS1 4th gens, except that the 4th gens have a different brand of posi carrier, and the 4th gen axles are longer. The gears are identical; the center section is identical (except that the 4th gens have an extra hole drilled & tapped for ABS); the axles are the same diameter; the bearings are the same part numbers; the suspension all around it is the same.... and the factory gives a 5/50,000 or whatever it is warranty on it, and it's almost a 12-second car off the showroom floor.

You could buy a 9-bolt or a 9" or a 12-bolt or something, but it sounds to me like you need to solve some other issue first.

What is happening to them?

 

i like to do holeshots, i don't do standstills or dounuts.
the orginal one (where it all started)
#1- a bad wining was occuring a speeds in excess of 45mph and getting worse as speed increased. so it was rebuilt with new bearning,new springs,clutch packs,discs.
#2- bad gasket= no gear lube, thus creating heat and breaking springs and other stuff. so the whole thing was rebiult and put back in
#3- c clip broke and having a drum rear maks this happen(see pic below)
#4 rear will be the last rear and thus making me a happy guy- i'm looking at a moser 12 bolt- if thhat doesn't do it. maybe i'll go to a honda so i can break halfshafts all day

 

Replace the housing it is probably bent is or out of spec somewhere a friend of mine fourth gen went though six rebuilds while he had it and one prior before he replaced the whole thing.

 

its not the casing that was replaced with the last one- i have to now just get the new differnetial cover-
