Rear end strength question:

bill dedman · 03-04-2010, 11:59 PM

It's valuable information, for sure, to know about the small axle tubes in the 8.8, and the problems they cause, but I was basically just interested in the answer to the question about the relative strength of the 10-bolt Chevy's ring and pinion and carrier assembly as regards torque-handling capabilitiy as compared with an 8.8" Ford.

Nobody seems to have an answer for that, so it's probably just a stupid question with no real, available, accurate answer.

Thanks for all the comments; I do appreciate the good info!!!
