12 bolt gear set treatment options

Larry,

I have a friend that races a GTCA Camaro with a 12 bolt. I think he has a 5.87 ratio. He gets between 100 and 150 runs on a ring and pinion. I would expect you will get similar gear life from your combo. I have a Dana 60 in my car with 5.86/6.17 ratio and I get several thousand runs on the ring and pinion in my car. The 12 bolt is not real strong but will be fast. I think its LPW that makes a girdle cover with a strut rod that runs to the end of each axle tube. This would be a good choice for your Truck. Also some billet caps.
