on the second one I did backplate along with Auburn locker. I concluded my driving style was more an issue than the components I guess. Only thing I never played with were the axles as it was always the ring or pinion that chipped teeth and ax;es seemed fine.

Sounds like an install issue to me.

OK...so how many rwhp going thru that rear end? I'm guessing I can spend all kinds of cash or just put the Escalade rear end in? I just dont trust the 10 bolt to not always be the weakest link no matter what I do to it...

The factory 10 bolt with dif cover, tru track and miser axles have been 1050 hp and 9.50s at 4100lb race weight. Sounds like a install problem.
