Default What I know now

After a little on line and telephone research, I've learned what is available for my 8" Traction-Lock.

1.) No PowerTrax is available for the 8" TractioLock carrier, only for an open 8" differential.

2.) No TrueTrack is available for any 8" Ford differential.

3.) The Auburn Pro is supposed to be a fine limited slip unit and will hold up well. Auburn does have an exchange program for units 4 years old and newer for about $150. No other rebuild options are available from any source including the Auburn factory. If it fails after 4 years, you can just buy a new one if you still want one.

4.) A Detroit locker is available for the Ford 8". The Tracktech rep said that on the street "you will hear it and feel it every day". Not encouraging to me.

5.) The Traction-Lock that I have now is always available, but will need a rebuild every 2 years or so the way I drive it.

I think I'm going to go with the Auburn Pro even though they won't stand behind their product very well. Everyone I have talked to says they are good. I do wonder why they don't cater a little more to the customers that buy them? If it fails in 5 years and I have to throw it away, I'm gonna be pissed.

I do want to thank everyone that gave me insight on this thread. Wish me luck with the Auburn Pro.
