What are the options to replace these weak 10 bolts in the 99 and up trucks?

 

The best option is probably a 14 bolt, but the swap is fairly involved.

I'll check into it.

Is that going to be alot cheaper than getting a Ford 9" from someone like Moser for a 99 silverado?

 

how are the ten bolts weak? most of the guys on here have a 10 bolt

 

flaco got his truck in the 9s before the 10 bolt gave the ghost if you set them up right there a strong rearend

 

How would someone go about setting up a 10bolt for some real power?

 

what are you to referring as real power?


a detriot true track, yukon axles , good gear set, girdle, so forth will take plenty of punishment set the pinion and driveline up right and youre good i'd think for awhile

 

 

Running a Motive Gear set with a Duragrip locker. Pinion angle set at -6 with a t56. I run old school slapper bars.

Second rebuilt on a 100% street truck.

 

I run a Detroit locker, Richmond excel gear set and I also invested in a diff cover that has carrier bearing supports, just helps keep the gears from walking apart. I beat on mine regularily and with winter roads, theres plenty of times i'll be spinning on ice and suddenly find pavement and hook hard
here's that cover
**edit to add the date isn't correct on that haha, I just noticed that**
