i broke a 7.5 in a stock tbi 4.3 s-10 blazer (i think it was a 7.5 anyway)

then again it had like 180k miles on it...posi still worked though

that strange s60 rear requires a custom driveshaft and is heavy as hell. its overkill for most setups. the moser 9inch with an aluminum center section is ftw

No offense to anybody, and I'm sure there is a valid reason somewhere, but for the life of me I can't understand why someone would go with an S60 or Dana 60 unless they have something at least in the mid 9's.

basically the consensus is....ford 9" ftw

tru idk just saying you own that is pretty sweet but must get to 9's first

I went with the S60. The reason I did this was the price and the fact I could keep the ABS. I picked up a new S60 and chromemoly driveshaft for several hundred less than the price of just a 9 inch.

[/LEFT]yea i kno, as soon as i saw the size of the spider gears i knew it has "slicks" written all over it, but it is the price. It just seemed more unlogical to spend around the same price for "adaquit" (ford 9") you can spend a little more for "overkill" (dana s60)...but, that is before it was stated you need a custome drive shaft, which would put the whole S60 setup up around $1K more then the ford, so "adaquite" is prob how i will go now.

The S60 just looks so....:drool: , it makes me wanna :leghump:

who saw the new moser m9 do they make one for f bodys??

Yeah, they do, and I believe they now come with the ability to keep your ABS and traction control, which to me is a huge plus.

Not sure on this, maybe someone can verify?

I thought the the 9" also required a different DS and also swaybars?

i think it only requires a different yoke, but the stock length will work. the s60 requires a shortened driveshaft. the stock swaybar will work if i'm not mistaken. you will need a different way to attach it to the rear though

If you are changing rears you should upgrade/use a 1350 series yoke anyways IMO, regardless of 12 bolt vs. 9' vs. Dana 60.

the M9 for fbodies is only for 3rd gens without a torque arm, not a direct bolt in for us.

7H9FBT IROC/F-Body w/torque arm

They have a part number listed for an F-body rear with torque arm. You would just have to run wheels with 3rd gen backspacing in the rear.....

yea i saw it listed, but under price "N/A"...whats up with that?
