This is a 9 bolt? I assumed that when you said 3.42 that you were talking about a 10 bolt. I've only seen one 9 bolt that was not posi. I think that the 9 bolt gear was a 3.45, and that was rare. Most were 2.77 or 3.27.

Re: rear end opinion
this rear came out of a 89 firebird gta it is 9 bolt disk break tag on rear cover says 3.42 just checked it on the way to work this morning forgot to spin hubs to check if its posi rpo codes for car came up 3.42 dont remember if it said posi though it was about 7 years ago when i ran the codes.can a locker be put in this rear?and if so any recomendations.like i said i would like to keep it street driveable (cant stand 1 wheel peel) also have another rear that i will be removing tomarow i'll let you know what that is and maybe i can come to a decision thanks again
Re: rear end opinion
I don't know of any locker for the 9 bolt. There is an after market differential for this rear end, but I'm told that it is very expensive. The origianl Borg Warner differential can be reconditioned if it isn't working correctly.
