Yet another 9 bolt question.......

[Roc87]

I did a search and came up with a little info, but who has been in the 11's for a long time and still has the 9 bolt working fine? I just bought a 9 bolt w/ 3.27, posi, and Disc brakes off ebay to replace my worn out 10 bolt w/ 4.10's . Will this thing work for a while? Since there isn't a track around close, I'll mostly be driving this thing on the street and with 17" tires I'm not too concerned with breaking the rear because I have a real problem with traction. But I do want to have a nice low 60 foot time when I do go to the track (if possible with my "road racing" suspension) with my 26x15x10.5 ET Streets.

Its supposed to be stronger than the 10 bolts. Mine has 100K miles on it and still works. Its loud but it still works although it has like 300 passes in it with more in the 1.6s that I can count.

They are inherently better than the 10 bolts and if you do break it it will most likely be the posi. At least you dont have to worry about shooting the axle out the side. And the larger ring gear(just a little larger) will stand up to the abuse a bit better.

I can not recall exactly what is out there, it has been some time since I read the page myself.

Great, it sounds like it should hold up for what I'm doing then.....
