kind of depends on what your planning to do with the truck. If its gonna be just a cruiser and maybe a few trips down the track I doubt you will have any problems with a 10 bolt. If your planning on doing alot of racing with it then you may think about upgrading to atleast a 12 bolt.

I have used and ABUSED 10 bolts in my truck with 4.56 gears towing 18,000+ and still have had no problems with it.

I thought the Auburn was rebuildable too. Pretty much just like Auto trans clutches that wear out. But the Easton does sound good, being tuneable.

Yeah, it's kind of a bugger. They do offer an exchange program called D-REX,where they will replace it for 4 years for the price of a "competitors clutch pack replacement," but that's downtime while you wait for it to ship to them, and get a new unit back...

That is actually pretty ******. And so if I don't wear it out within 4 years? Then what. They do actually claim it's not rebuildable because the gears are a matched set. Thanks for that info. I sure won't be passing along that Auburn is any good anymore. Although, I do know it's a good working system when it's working. They work great. Drag racers using them and they are almost as good as a spool when new.

Hear that 89S? Your LSD unit in your Burb sucks !!!

There you go again, talking about his unit...

Seriously though, it's still much better than the gov-bomb.
