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.

 

Here's my post form last week in regards to Duntov:

DUNTOV is out! Thanks! Any other plug n play builders that have in stock ready to ship diffs?

 

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

I don't know about their diffs, but I did buy a set of trailing arms (complete with bearings, brakes, etc) from them about 4-5 years ago.
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.

5 stars ,they are great to work with

 

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.

Jim Mervis is the new (ish) owner at VTech

 

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.

 

I agree. I have used them many times for rear differentials, trailing arms, calipers, etc. Quality work by either Ed or Mike. To make things easier for you they will send you a heavy duty box for shipment of your differential. The box should come with a UPS shipping label that will allow you to ship prepaid to their location at their discounted rate. Once work is completed they will calculate the shipping to and from your location.

Stay away from Duntov. I know first hand

 

Well I got the Duntov parts installed. Hopefully be able to road-test by Friday.

 

 

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.
