Quote: Wow 4 pages in and Monte thinks he knows more about rear axles than Cass does
Point out where I said THAT. All I said was I could find the parts cheaper than he quoted. What, you think Strange is the only people who make this crap. But as far as the prices of stuff I quoted........Google is your friend, look it up, see for yourself. I KNOW what the stuff can be built for, because I used to do it everyday and still sell a lot of parts.
As far as knowing about rear ends. I used to run a chassis shop. We built stockers to Pro-Mods. So I have built a rear or two. Be it Dana, Ford, Olds, 12 bolt.............whatever. Do I know more than Cass about various rears........probably not, as that is his business.
Cass doesn't like the Ford Locker............that's fine. It's his opinion and he is entitled to it. Personally, I have never broken one, never broke a Track Loc in a Dana either.
For clarification, NEVER had a problem with a DANA, other than bending tubes...........and ALL this bullsh%t goes back to what I said 3 or 4 pages ago. Dana is a fine rear, just not the best for every application on the planet
Monte
Monte the OP stated he wanted to "upgrade" his current setup and to me that doesn't mean find the cheapest components he can find on the net.Cass puts his reputation on the line when he recommends what components are needed to fulfill the OP's requirements.If he thinks I need to use a certain item I trust his opinion over yours because he is an expert in the field.At the same time I wouldn't go ask Cass how to setup an 8 second nitrous injected door slammer I would contact an expert in the field like you. If someone wanted to "upgrade" their current nitrous system would you advise them to Google the cheapest solenoids they could find on the net?Or maybe find the cheapest fuel pump on the internet? Of course you wouldn't Do you put the cheap offshore junk in the racecars you build? From your reputation I don't think so
I would contact an expert in the field like you.
