Has anyone swapped their factory 28 spline axles over to the later 30 spline axles? Or upgraded to chromemoly axles?In the 8.5 diffs? Just wondering if an upgraded 8.5 would handle 500 ft.lbs. of torque.I know they did in the buick GN,but not sure in a 1009.

That might be a gamble. 500# feet of torque in a 6000# vehicle might do some damage. I'm sure . The GN was at least a ton lighter.
