8.2 upgrade options
I'm starting to do some research into upgrading from my 8.2 into something more durable.
I see a few paths: - Find an 8.5 or a 12 bolt locally - Moser 12 bolt or 9" - Strange Dana S60 What I've found locally in terms of 8.5 or 12 bolts have been overpriced and in need a full rebuild/gear swap anyway, so it's making sense to spend a little more to get exactly what I want from the get go. I'm leaning towards a new Moser 12 bolt since my local options are few and far between. I'm assuming a 9" would be overkill for my application, but I do like the idea of being able to swap pumpkins easily. I haven't heard a lot of folks running S60s. My car will stay mostly on the street. I just want to the option to take it to the drags occasionally or beat on it without fear that the diff is going to grenade. What should I be considering in terms of carrier type (Eaton, Auburn, TrueTrac), axle splines, etc?
