GM 12-Bolt rear diff UPGRADE: Positraction and gear swap | Hagerty DIY

Do you have a whole bunch of power under your hood? Are you only spinning one wheel on those burnouts? Hagerty’s Davin Reckow is here to help you solve all your one-wheel peel problems. Our 1969 Chevy Camaro SS just got a freshly rebuilt, modestly hot-rodded engine, and it’s in serious need of a lower gear and some Positraction goodness. Davin goes step-by-step to show you how to swap out your rear end with a burnout-approved limited-slip differential.
