Posi rear problems in the snow

Rev · 01-15-2006, 06:49 PM

The Ford Traction-Lock in my 8" was only lasting me a year or two between rebuilds. I finally put in an Auburn Pro to the tune of about $420 doing the work myself. I haven't had any problems since then and that's been a couple of years or so.

There's also a "trick" to rebuilding those trac-loc rears. Using all the stock parts, but putting the sliders/clutches in a different order. The last one I did had 1.5 years on it and yanked the wheels to the tune of a 1.47 short time.

Don't remember off hand, have to think about it. I'll post it here when I come up with it.
