Ok, I ordered the Moser today from Texas Speed & Performance. (3.42's, 33 spline, 1350 yoke, posi of course, everything except the TA cover) It comes fully assembled, minus the brake backing plates. I know the ones on my current rear are bent. I plan on going to the dealer tomorrow to order them. I know they might carry them on sites like auto-parts-for-less.com and gmpartsdirect.com, but their names and diagrams are kinda confusing at times so I don't wanna end up ordering the wrong part.

Does anyone know the EXACT part # on one of those sites for the backing plates that I need? Is there anything else I need besides them? If I don't order them from one of those sites, when I go to the dealer I simply as for brake backing plates, right? And LASTLY ( ) what kind of shop do I need to take it to to get them pressed on? Hopefully that won't cost too much. Gimme an example of a widely known company that does stuff like that.

Sorry I'm askin so many dumb questions, but I want to have everything planned out and ready to go the day I get the rear-end in so I can put it on and get back to drivin my baby

EDIT: I emailed the guy from TX Speed & Perf, and he said:
[i]You will need to get a new u-joint for the driveshaft, you will need to get a set of dual 3" muffler clamps to attach your rear sway bar, and you will need to tie-wrap your brake lines to the rear axle. For ABS, your exciter rings would need to be pulled off of your 10-bolt and pressed onto the 12-bolt. You can have them pressed on at Moser for an additional $75 if you'd like. Just let me know, and I can add that to your rearend. Your brake backing plates and rear brake setup will transfer over to the 12-bolt. [i]

New u-joint? Where the hell do I get that? Is it the same as the stock one or what? I'm gettin them to press the exciter rings on. Does that mean my backing plates won't hafta be pressed on?

 

dont waste money at dealer.....simply ask for a printout of the part and say you are bringing in to your mechanic for him to check out....theyll give you a diagram with a part number

 

ttt

anyone??

 

 

i meant about the u-joint. i don't think it's a stock GM part. i know that the stock u-joint doesn't work w/ the 1350 yoke, which is why i need a new one, i just dunno which one i need

 

oh ok......stik93 knows a lot about that kinda stuff hell be onm later tonite
