I think the columbia is a great rear, I'll admit that it worked flawlessly and I'm sure he had it rebuilt several times by someone else. Pauls problem was, the engine was not stock and you had to be careful how you used it. Driving it through the mountains, he didn't shift it, only when we got onto a good road did we use the overdrive. This was one reason I went for the RTS and Spicer 44. Less cost better axles, posi and it got rid of the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern. And my flatty can't hurt it.
