I guess this thing finally had enough. Are the 9 bolts really that much stronger? If so I might spend the $'s on one of those right now, if not I can get another 3.42 V6 rear end out of the U Pull It yard pretty cheap. Don't want to spend $300 or $400 on a 9 bolt of they are just a little stronger.

 

9 bolts are stronger. it wouldn't be hard to replace the egars but the cost would most likely equall that of a complete 9 bolt or at least come close to it.
