[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16287496, member: 166576"] Addressing this assuming you stay stock-ish. Rear end: 8.8's are pretty tough, though 13-14 did use a different pinion bearing from the 07-12's from what Im told. Wouldn't worry about it too much. Transmission: get ready for a rebuild if you want 1-2 to not suck. Gears 1-4 at least for Tremec Hybrid Syncros. On the bright side, I have beat that absolute shit out of it like it was a redheaded stepchild that owed me money. Aside from worn (and noisy) bearings and synchros, it still shifts fine under normal conditions. Keep you're eyes peeled in the Marketplace for a set of takeoff Bilsteins. They pop up from time to time. A big win if they can indeed be rebuilt by Bilstein. Recently on my 11, the Radiator fan died and took out the fan controller. Had it replaced under my Carmax Extracare coverage (absolutely has saved my ass a few times.). Happened in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway in Phoenix mid day. Ambient temps were 110F+ :D With some quick thinking and a few rounds of playing "shut the engine off and coast" game, I nursed her home without any damage. Ive had the A/C evaporator core rupture, the clutch master started leaking down and the power drivers seat track failed. [/QUOTE]
