DUNTOV Rear Diff?
Finally decided to take the plunge.Been researching builders for awhile and DUNTOV is looking like the one. Anyone have one of their diff? I like the plug n play aspect + dont have to ship mine . Any other builders offer the same? Thanks

I just received my 3.55 rear, trailing arms, etc. from Duntov. Was NOT a pleasant experience.

These guys had a few "ready to ship" in stock when I was looking. I was dealing with a guy named "Jim Mervis"

It was an easy purchase, shipping was timely, and they appeared to be set-up properly on both the axle/spindle play and on the brake run-out.
They were also packaged really well.
From what I saw on the trailing arms, I wouldn't hesitate to try one of their differentials, but of course, YMMV.

I bought a complete rear end from Mamo. I think it had a $375 core charge. I ordered it with the custom hardened yokes for some additional cost in 4.11 richmond gears. $999 was about the best deal I could find.

I would pay for the bigger main caps, best yokes, and ask if they would drill and tap for a drain plug. Mamo for 10 bucks more has Richmond gears. I also did a rear end with US gears and I'm not an expert, but my 4.11 richmonds still looked new with 20 years on them with the best yokes and best posi unit.

It is a shame Duntov is out I have had mine for 10 years. It handles my 500 horse always hooks up both tires never chugs in the turns. Its a 3.70 with carbon fiber clutches.
