[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 2761758, member: 14646"] Actually I'm not wrong. The 10 bolt is OK at best for a factory stock rig with factory sized tires. You have a16 year old 10 bolt with 3.73 gears and any kind of oversize tire or say, towing 8k lbs it is a ticking time bomb. The latest model of F150s use an 8.8 Heavy and 9.75" rear end depending on how the truck was spec'd. Ram 1500 uses the Chrysler 9.25". The only hing lower than the 10 bolt is the Dana 30 and there isn't much difference. The 10bolt is probably not at the top of the list for potential issues with his tow setup but it can play a factor. Toy hauler trailer = camping out in the dirt, sand and off road areas. What happens if he gets stuck trying to pull into a remote dry camping area and starts to get a bit of a heavy foot trying not to get stuck. Boom goes the axle shaft or the RP. Chances are the shafts will go first. [/QUOTE]
