One wheel peel

[1slow95]

Looks like it's time to beef up the rear end! I want to go with a new diff and 31 spline axles, what brand should I look for? It definitely needs to be street friendly, and Im looking to spend no more than $500-700 on everything.

I know this question has probably been asked several times allready, but Im too lazy to search.

I have always heard great things about the Eaton rear ends but they are pretty expensive. I will most likely go with Eaton or a Ford Truck 31spline trac loc when the time comes. Sorry dont know much as far as axles go though.

superior axles seem to have a good rep around here (ive been looking into a set)

as far as diff.. i have an auburn unit in my 02 and it seems to work well

right after my 408 swap, I went ahead and put in an eaton posi and superior 31 spline axles. The eaton, as opposed to an Auburn differential, is rebuildable, and so far, it holds very well and has great street manners.

I spent about $700 on parts and a rebuild kit, plus about another $250 to get it professionally installed. I thought about doing it myself, but getting the rearend installed right is important, so I didn't want to botch it up.

sorry to hi jack- but do the 99+gt's Differential bolt right up? I know my friend had one on his car but he never really told me if it just bolted right up...

you could go with the t-lok from an f-series truck, they had 31 splines, and a 7/8 pin to be stronger

yup. any 8.8 diff should work

thas what i thought just making sure. Aren't the 99+ a little wider?

the axles are but the differential is the same

 

[Guero]

side by side with axles and all the 99+ is wider right?

With a manual car, you'll want to go 31-spline...

With my car, I bought a drop in replacement Powertrax No-Slip locker. Very street friendly, ABSOLUTELY no one-wheel peel after fighting with the stock traction-lok for months and months.

 

[1slow95]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Where can I find more info about the Powertrax locker?

I've also thought about going with the f-series t-lok...Do they work much better than the stock diff? I only have about 20k on my rebuilt stocker and it's slipping again.

Search these forums...you should find alot of info from the posts I had concerning the Powertrax.

Basically, it's a drop in piece that replaces the "guts" of your traction-lok carrier (or open diff carrier) and turns it into a locker..

It works great, but with a stick shift and a lot of power I'd worry about using the stock drop in. Now, a 31-spine setup and a Powertrax No-Slip would be AWESOME...

i run the 03 cobra trac-loc with frpp axles and have not had a problem.

the 03 diff is similar to the truck diff but has carbon clutches. you can get a new one for around $250.

Thanks bimmer that info is really helpfull

i have one and i believe i talked 95strokerpsu into getting one as well.

i have ordered alot of stuff from john bleakley ford and have never had a problem--not even a back ordered part.

I plan on getting a F-150 8.8 t-loc like posted above with extra clutches and 31 superior axles. Cheap in every way to get/rebuild/install. You could do this kind of rear build for under 500$.
