Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
3.23 isn't a 9 bolt ratio closest would be 3.27 the 9 bolt is a better rear than the 10 bolt but parts cost more than the 10 bolt.

The 9-bolts were the M78, bought out by Dana.

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
Are you sure that it's a Borg Warner? The 3.23 is a 10 bolt gear. There are good and bad points to both rear ends. The 9 bolt is a little better. The posi in the 9 bolt can be reconditioned at least one time.

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
Borg Warner bought Dana years ago, so it's "technically" a BW now.

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
although what stephen said may be correct it is and always will be a borg warner... cars that went back for warranty with a g92 b/w got it replaced with a dana 44 which is the best stock rear and found in the front of older 4x4 chevy/ford trcks and in rear of wagoneers...200 seems like a good deal at any rate for it if u want rebuild one it would be really expensive www.9bolt.com has the prices of the parts to do it

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
there's no E in borg, it's not french.
d44 is in my bronco and all those guys hate how weak they are. For some reason 3rdgenners think they are great and pay a huge price since they are uber rare.
9bolts are great because they have 4-spiders. Last a long time behind and auto. I beat the crap out of mine behind a stick and made it whine, but it didn't break.

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
The Dana 44 in the front of the Bronco is weak because guys put 33 inch or larger tires on them and the 28 spline axles can't handle it when you get the truck in a bind. Compared to the 7.5 inch rear ends that came in the third gen, the 8.5 inch Dana 44 is very strong. There are also MANY more options for differentials in the Dana 44. The BW only has one, and it's a cone type. I know a guy who has a third gen Dana 44 for sale, but he wants about $1800 for it.

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
GTO's don't have the same center sections. This KAAZ unit fits 9 bolts though:

Re: posi borge warner 9 bolt
Nope. Been there done that, even joined an Aussie board. There was a local Aussie outfit redrilling one for a Ford rear to fit, but they broke a lot. And for the price of the KAZ you can get a bolt in Ford nine with a truetrac.
