98 Brav rear end installed. Have some questions.
I installed it on my 97 s10. I do realize this is the blazer/brav/envoy area, but it all pertains to the brav rear.
Why does it lock only higher 2nd gear? Otherwise is a 1-wheel-peel still...I fear lack of power. Am I seeing things or is this rear end an inch or 2 wider than the stock s10 rear?? |

no its sits higher in the back by a about an inch, and it is 4 inchs wider so the rearend stick out 2 inchs on each side. I also did this exact instal on my truck, If you have ANY Questeons PM me

Re: 98 Brav rear end installed. Have some questions.
So why does it lock up all lazy late? Top of second in gravel and I've swung around, but through 1st and second is lame
 Does GM lsd units just suck this bad or does my 4cyl lack the power to lock it up? |

Re: 98 Brav rear end installed. Have some questions.
it locks up all lazy late cause it's a Coo-Coo Clock Mechanism... as the wheel spins, it winds a spring, once the spring is wound tight enough, it'll lock up the other wheel...
BE CAREFUL!!! I blew my rear diff... (mind you i was in 4 low and "trying" to pull out a shrub...) here's what it looked like after...  If you want a heavy Duty Differential... look at getting an Auburn Posi for it... |

Re: 98 Brav rear end installed. Have some questions.
buy a torsen out of a ls1 f-body. they hold up way better than a gov-lock. And you would not have to worry about your 2.2 destroying it, plus it is cheaper.

Re: 98 Brav rear end installed. Have some questions.
So if I were to haul around like.....a 2200lb corolla or make a 1000lb scrap ru, this will be just fine?
I don't think I need to pull any bushes/stumps/buildings/mountains/baby puppies, so I think I'll be ok with this(?)... Can this break without pulling any weight? Goran, were you pulling with gradual weight or ramming at it? |
