"DifferentWrenchial"!

Good to hear it's working well!

(My project car had a small clunk in the differential---turned out to be an improperly installed c-clip that warped and fell out of the groove...so I rebuilt the diff. while I was there...LOL)

I haven't worked with Mike, but I have a Super-10 built by another guy named Gary Ramadei in the northeast part of the country. Now that I live in the DFW area, if I ever need another one done, I will definitely check him out. The stock differentials are a weak link, but I sleep very easy now knowing that the diff is up to the job. Now, if I could only afford the HD 31-spline outer axles, the whole drive-line would be bullet proof.

For the really high performance differentials and rear end parts, both Mike and Gary, as far as I know, buy many/most/all their parts from Tom's Differential. When Tom was still in Bellflower, Ca, circumstances were that I spent hours in Tom's shop and this was in the latter days just before he moved to Idaho. We talked about many things..one of the reasons he left California was an very unpleasant encounter with the Environmental Protection Agency. Anyhow, of all his customers for his parts, I remember he had favorable things to say about Gary and Mike.

I'm in the opposite boat.. I've got the Tom's 31 outers but need the super-10
