Rear End Question
#26
UPDATE -
I went and looked at the thing tonight it looks to be in great shape. Someone has repainted it. From what I can tell it is an 8.8. I checked and it does have 4.10 gears after I turned the wheel one rotation and counted how many times the pinion turned. Also, it has a L/S in it. The only thing wrong is that it does not have the brake guts in it, they are in a bucket.
So, how much should I offer him? He is asking $135. Thanks yall

Nothing wrong with nicking a few bucks off because the brakes are all apart and junk, maybe $120. But if its had seals and bearings replaced, that is a good deal anyways.
Look for a post this weekend by me, you'll like what i'm doing to my 8.8...

Ok, I bought it! Just got home about 30 minutes ago. I will try to get some pics tomorrow. I am to tired right now since this is the first time I have sat down all evening. The L/S in this thing felt real tight so I think someone put new or maybe a little better springs in this thing. My dad noticed how hard they were to. Now I just need to find me brake hardware that it is forgetting.
I need pics if anyone has them of how the brakes are set up on the 8.8. Like where all the springs and stuff go.

Yeah, you're suppose to use a friction modifier which helps the disk lock up if i remember right. But if it is new, you want to make sure to use normal dino oil to break it in, then switch to synthetic if you'd like. I don't recall what weight oil though, sorry.
Oh, did it have one of those really nice machined aluminum covers on it with the girdle supports built in??
