Its too bad they dont have the SLP Take offs still for 100.00!
After breaking 3 10 bolt rear ends in my V6 car and 1 so far in my 02 WS6 I have come to the conclusion that no matter what you do to your 10 bolt or no matter how much power you make if you race your car the 10 bolt will break!! I had Moser axles with a Eaton posi, T/A cover, and new everything and it still broke!! Cost about 1200.00 in parts to build that rear end.

Wow! Talk about bad luck. Maybe you should talk to some rear experts. They typically put 500 hp into the Eaton with no problems. Something must be wrong for you to have these problems with such low hp. Most problems with rear ends are not the parts, they are problems with the installers. Spend the time to find the source of your problems, usually a new/better shop will be the solution and save you $$$.
BTW, the Eaton is silent. So any noise you have is with a bad gear setup. Again, that is an installer issue. Find a better shop.
And the SLP take off rears are about 50% weaker than than the Eaton. Please review your info and post a revised assessment with more detail. Thanks!
