Re: 12 bolt power limit questions

The GM Truck 12-bolt is a VERY stout rear end. I've been pounding one with a 396 and a 427 for years and it's held up nicely. I welded the tubes, replaced the trailing arm perches with CaptainFab's perches, and added the Moser cover. They are VERY reliable. The day I break mine is the day a full floater Dana 60 or Corporate 14-bolt will go under the truck, just rubs me wrong to stick a Dorf anything under my Chevy...
