Hey guys,

A buddy of mine was at the drag strip the other night and blew his rear end on the 5th run on street tires??? I quess it was wheel hopping pretty good when it went.
Thanks,
Mike D

what state/city are you in? It's not mentioned in your post or your forum profile 
you can buy a brand new Z06 carrier for around $1100. Keep that in mind as you collect repair estimates.

Depends on the damage. Output shafts can be replaced. Any case damage and you will be buying a whole new diff. I blew up an after market diff and chewed up the ring gear on a second. I spoke to Chuck Mallett and recommended using a stock Z06 diff which you can get for about $1,200 (includes shipping) from GM Parts Direct. Buying individual pieces will cost much more!
