Why would the speedo hit 120 for what sounds like a mechanical problem, unless some traction control electronics involved?

because his rear end was slipping, the engine was doing 120, but the power wasn't getting to the wheels.

Exactly! My speed gov is set to 135 so thats another reason it was able to rev so high...since it slipped/let loose while i was in motion and foot was on the gas and the instant jerk it caused the trans/ds to free rev. Im courios to see what came apart! Im gona call around i may find a used rear to swap in for now until i can aford to upgrade to 4.11s front and rear and put in a true trac.

Ahhh, I thought the speedometer was linked to a sensor in the wheel or something. That makes sense. Learn something new every day

They have coil spring 14 bolts with 4.10s all over the place I'd look into one of those then you'll only have to regear the front.

well i got it apart and looks to be only the locker went bad! its in tons a pices but i cleaned it out and the ring/pinion looks to be unharmed. with xmas coming up and me in the process of rebuilding the th350 for my k10 i dont think i will upgrade to a true trac yet so for now im gona look for a used gov lock to go back in. since im not removing the pinion it will ot be too bad correct? check pattern now then make sure to get backlash set right and same pattern when i set back up? anyway here is the carnage.
