Re: Rear Differential
they are not weaker than what you have now, or even weaker than a 12 bolt. 2 more bolts wooooo.
look for any broken lug studs, or missing ujoint straps or broken yokes, make sure the moving parts move freely and not gritty. check rear end gear wear and see a nice polish in the middle of the teeth basically. no heavy scars or pitting.
balljoint play and wheel bearing play. see if the locking hubs work and actually lock the axle shaft when engaged. worn out tie rod ends etc etc etc etc
driver pullouts or junkyard sitters for years? if this 10 bolt rear came from a manual transmission truck it will have a 1350 ujoint on the pinion.
