I can’t even get a response on Facebook. Everything I search is “thow that 10 bolt in the trash”.
I want to remove my stock LSD out of my 1997 rear end and install a True Track (most likely). What do you guys think? Should I even attempt it? |

If you've got the time, tools and a bench, to put the rear on, its not bad. If you're like me you'll put it together and pull it apart 5 times before you're happy with the backlash and gear pattern. The GM tolerances are pretty generous if I remeber correctly(been 3 years) but I wanted as close to perfect as I could get it: hoping it'll last longer. If you don't have an indicator and suitable base you're gonna need to drop some decent money on those tools.
I used my trusty dealership service manual(ebay find) and a generic book off amazon on 10bolt rebuilds. I did a tru-trac and 3.73 gear swap + new seals/bearings, car does not have ABS. Disclaimer: I do CNC work. So doing setup with .0005 indicators is my daily grind(until finish my degree); your experience may vary. |
