Annoying to replace all seals, bearings, ring, pinon, diff cover, carrier, driveshaft and both ujoints

in a rear end I don't even plan on keeping under the truck... fml



THE WHOLE REAR END IS ALUMINUM REALLY GM.. REALLY



Truetrac and everything back in

For what you spent on that true trac you could have swapped in an 8.8. May not have been perfect in size but you would be on a lot better setup and more durable.

But if you want an S-10 to bash and thrash on, come buy mine, itll be fairly cheap...
