alright damn it. 3 weeks ago i smoked a rearend. outer and inner pinion bearings. i went and pulled a 04 blazer rear-end. thinking that it may be stronger/ last longer, something. well no! the same damn thing happpened.

i'm going to ford!

 

why didnt you go with a 1500 rear? or even a 2500 truck rear?

 

i was told that they where to wide for the s-10 body and that the leaf mounts where to far a part as well... so i didn't look into it. but yes, thank you. i feel retarded. i have a friend that has a 1500. i'll measure it up today. !!!

 

well then there must be sumthing wrong, or bad luck lol, ive had several s-10s and worked on pleanty lol, doing some mad burnouts?

 

s-10 rears do suck, I beleive I have the same rear in my Trans Am.

 

i'm pushing a 350. i'm twisting rearends like ice trays. the trans am is a little differant. basically the same set up, just wide with differant suppention and gears.
s-10 rear ends are fast!!! 4.10 gearing but the pinion barings and the stock yokes seems like their made out of origami.
i wanted to put a ford explorer rear on, but the bolt paterns are differant. btw, the chevy 1500 is 8 inches to wide. i'm gonna have to suck it up and spin the money. get like a dana 60 and take it to a sop to get cut down...

ohhhh, any body know where i can get a rear end shorten w/o getting my pants pulled down over the price?

 

get a hack saw?? why dont you try the 3rd gen camaro rear end? I think they are almost Identical, Im not too sure but my best friend put an 88 Iroc-z rear in his 89
