i agree. if it took this long to break a gov-lock, a good diff in there should hold up fine.

I thought he had an auburn or eaton posi in the back???
personally would go with 9.25 front(find a way to stuff in there) with eaton e-locker up front and gm 9.5 out back with locker or some sort of stiff-acting posi. Granted this might pull on the motor more, but traction would be prime!!!! PLus can let the motor go wild

Hey Parish, I went down to my friends shop- the first thing he said when he saw me was "Hey is that truck you talk about blue?" I said yeah. Then he said both of his friends in the event saw you run a 10.0 (I believe it was in St Louis) Both of his friends were very impressed with your truck. Just get a 9in ford and be done with it.

glad to hear you had such an awesome week... its def a 9 sec truck. 10.08 is just too close, yet so far away

Besides the rear end on the way home... was it the head gasket that went at the track? And was that the reason for the overheating issues?
