One Wheel Wonder

[FrdMustangCpe]

well according to my friend who was in the car behind me today only the right tire was spinning . well im still selling my car and im not gonna rebuild the trac-lok. ill just let whomever know. but anyways since i will be getting another stang i was wondering whats a good street/occasional strip diff would be? hopefully less than $400 big ones. i know i could rebuild the trac-lok for like $40 but will it hold up with even drag radials?

any experiences on any diffs? good or bad?


thanx

It's pretty tough to break the stock rear end. Rick91gt ran 740rtw all season on a stock assembly.

The factory traction-loc unit is a pretty good peice, Ford does one thing real well and that is rear ends. I had the one-wheel peel so I did some research with a search and found lots of good info. The difference is in the packing if you want it extra tight.

Factory: clutch-plate-plate-clutch-plate-plate-clutch-shim
Extra pack: clutch-plate-clutch-plate-clutch-plate-clutch-shim

I get two perfectly identical black marks when I lay rubber on Nitto DR's, although my goal is not to lay rubber.

so u basically have to buy 2 rebuild kits? Also, did you use the f-150 spring?

No, you just re-use the best two of the old one's, the middle seems to be in the best shape.

I didn't use the F-150 spring.
