example my s10 chevy..
GVWR 4900
Axles 2700 x 2 = 5400
31-10.50 LT @ 50 psi = 2270 lbs x 4 = 9080 lbs... WOW!!!!!:E
So what is being stated here is I can load my truck to 9080 lbs?
8.5-inch Chevy 10-bolt rear differential with 3.73:1.
I wonder what rear is in mine (brand).. Possibly I can tow a 5th wheel then...:E
Although your 28-spline 10-bolt can handle some horsepower if it is properly beefed up, the semi floating axle is best for cars rather than trucks that carry a load. This axle was used in a poorly outfitted GM 3/4t at one time, but I doubt anyone would praising its capacities. Your second generation S10 has other limitations than just running an automotive axle.
