i will.

I drive it once or twice a week and yesterday I drove it to the store had my 13year old son with me. As we are leaving Target stopped at a light a guy in a Civic was turning left, and I was turning right. Well he revs his engine at me..my son Austin started laughing and said "Dad are you going to shut him up?"
So I decided to rev mine back at him.......it was classic everyone around just looked and the guy in the Civic turned away...

If i were you i would just get a new differential and a set of 33 spline moser axles, because it would be stronger and you would have fixed the problem

That's a lot of money for no reason. Nothing wrong with the stock spline setup.


Just fix the whine

A 33 or even 31 spline setup is alot of $$$ just to fix a whining sound. Check with moser and strange and you will see that the whole 31 spline setup would run around $1000 + new. Hardly worth it unless you are planning on putting down BIG numbers. The stock rear ends actually hold up pretty well, and the good thing is if you do happen to break one, rear axles are a dime a dozen.

Exactly. 28 spline has worked for me and I have been pushing over 500 rwtq for about 3-4 years. I am sure that I am pushing my luck but with around 100 drag strip passes on slicks I have yet to break anything in my 175k mile rear end.

Yeah, but the smart t hing to do is to beef up everything while you are changing it, that way down the road u wont have to redo it.

Ouch, too bad you gotta sell it, but on the flip side, that thing is cheap. Hmm....
