Bill, why wouldn't you keep the spool in the rear axle. :icon_scratch:

When you go to a spool it transfers a lot more of the hit to everything else. The Eaton was somewhat of a shock absorber. It just took one hit one too many times. I don't think the 31 splines and or 1/2 studs will last too long, or even possible the caps in the housing.

Ring and pinion are still good. Yesterday morning I had trailer hooked up and ready to go, was planning for destruction at the track, not before. Anyways went for a short cruise before I loaded and felt/heard noises. Thought it was suspension at first. Eliminated all that and pulled the cover. I will put a spool in for the short term this week. Need to work on 60' times next weekend.
I need to be in St. Louis Oct. 15, most of the cars will be low 10's high 9's, a couple low 9's possible mid to high 8's

Hopefully, but not likely, I'll only need to wear it for an hour on Saturday and I can give it back to him..

So are you gonna go with the 35 spline 8.8 or a 9"?

I need to talk to Mark Williams. I have their stuff in it now. I talked to them about it last fall, built 8.8 35 spline, but will give them a call again to see what they have to say. It was pretty new for them last year, there should be some feedback on it now..

I am just going to spool it for the rest of this year to get me by. A new Eaton is $450 vs. spool $200
