Posi unit exploded today. Punched it from a 30 roll and that was it. I got it home, pulled the cover off, and pieces were laying all over the bottom of the pumpkin. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Now I have a good excuse to tell the wifey I need to pick up an Eaton or Auburn unit and drop in a set of 4.30 or 4.56s.

sorry to hear it.

Any thoughts on a rear axle conversion to something a little less 'light duty'?

Would it be worth it putting a Furd 9 inch axle under there, I mean after making it fit with the disc brakes, bracketry and everything else. Things are bulletproof...

SUcks about the Hoe bro..Someday you'll get to changing everything out of the drivetrain to withstand the power...

Damn. That sucks. It seems as when you finally get one thing done, its a matter of time before anther thing goes bad before you get to really enjoy it.

Same thing happened to my brother and law in his 03 burban. He was driving normal though. He put an Auburn in there and it's been great ever since
