I have heard a lot of complaints about the 10 bolt rear being weak, I would agree. I got this cover in hopes of making my rebuilt rearend last longer. It made a big difference. The 10 bolt case must be extra flimsy stock. It eliminated noise, vibration and made the rearend feel extra solid on aceleration and launches. I think it was well worth the investment to protect my posi and gears.

wow that does look loads better than stock.

i could use that, weld the axle tubes, and a new posi should be set for awhile.

looks good, but you are suffering from the ever so common placibo effect. There is no way you could feel a difference from a rear end cover.

Maybe his main cap bolts were loose.

I could be overestimating the efects of launces, I dont know for sure if its any better than before. My tranny is original and I used to feel a good Klunk when I changed the gear selector, that almost went away completly. It used to make a small creaking noise near the rearend that is now completley gone. I did loosen and re-torque the bearing caps while I had the cover off. I dont doubt that the person who rebuilt my axle did a good job.... but I wanted to know for a fact that they were torqued correct. I put 10ft lbs on the bolts that press against the caps.

Well if your happy with the product I see no reason not to promote it. But unless Accel or MSD pays me at the end of the season I'm not sticking those giagantor banner like stickers on my ride.
