Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
1980 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

On my k10 truck I am about to put in a new motor and transmission, 350m+t, and I am wondering how can I beef up my rear end so that if I bump up the hp, and torque, my rear end wont break? The rear end I think is stock and is on 33 inch wheels. Its also 4x4 and the reverse wont work, maybe with the new tranny.

It that trans if you only lost reverse, chances are the problem lies in the valve body. As far as the differential, there really isn't anything you can do to your differential. Most times people replace the differential with heavier duty one.
