Trac-Loc in the rear end is worn out, get yourself some gears and a rebuild kit, feasible to knock em out at the same time. Good Luck

Trak-Loc rebuild time.... One wheel peels are a sign the rearend needs the clutches in the dif replaced....

The kit needed..


FWIW...Look up towards 12:00 and you can see the clutches up inside...mine has 4 clutches versus factory set-up of 3..Its a tad beefier....

I was afraid of that.

I am going to get some 4:10's soon so I'll just have the rearend rebuilt.

You may want to try just changing the fluid first.

Often, clutch material deposits in the fluid and causes the traction-lok to fail. Mine was one wheel peelin', then I changed the fluid, which was extremely thick, almost chalky, and dark grey, and my traction-lok began working again.

You may not need a rebuild.
