Re: 12 Bolt 3.73 Posi Bundle... Worth a fart?

Stopped by the shop to see the progress... These pics don't show it, but the old ring and pinion had huge pieces of metal missing from the teeth. I will take better pictures once they're in my possession. The Pinion bearing was also shot and had come apart. Pieces of metal that had broken off at some point, had welded themselves to other parts of the ring and pinion. Terrible looking situation inside... Should be getting it out of the shop today. These guys are doing a fantastic job.
