Blew apart spiders last night and took out my ring gear too. Now wondering how much more hard earned money I want to keep throwing into this 12 bolt truck rear end. I am currently running Yukon c-clip axles and am looking at a GM locker, but will need to eventually go to c-clip eliminators if I keep trying to go fast pushing 4700 lbs. This means having to buy more axles or cutting these down. Have looked on Craig's list and there seems to be a bunch of 9" units out there, but the only thing I know about a 9" is that it might be 9inches.
I need info on what to look for in Ford 9", yes, I will consider the dark side for this. Questions I need answered are will all the parts interchange on the carriers? Can I put a spool in an open carrier? How tough are the oem limited slip units if I find one? Need to stick to a very tight budget and am counting on selling some of my 12 bolt stuff if I go this route.
Once again, counting on my DW buddies to get me on the straight and narrow ...........now that's really different. Preach away folks.
