I am going to be getting my 4:10's installed soon and was wondering if it will be beneficial to also put in a Trac Loc? How would that help me for autocrossing?

Your car is a GT right? GT's come factory with trac-loc. That's just fords term for their limited slip differential.

You wouldn't want a true locking differential...they are great for the straight-away, but not the best thing for going around corners!!! As triggz stated, the GT comes with a limited slip differential.

I will also be installing 4:10's soon and was wondering what else will be needed for the install besides the gears? Will I need bearings and seals for a 30K mile car?

A trac lok would kill your ability to autoX. You wont have a limited slip anymore so your rear wheels will turn the same around turns. If you had this your rear end would skip around turns. This is strictly for drag racing cars only.

With 30K on the dial, I'd certainly consider having the bearings replaced. Ask your installer for his opinion...but if the additional cost is minimal and in your budget, I'd go for it.killbee said:
Also, I'd recommend a high quality gear oil, such as Royal Purple. And don't forget the bottle of friction modifier.

Unless its leaking, dont replace something that is doing its job. A new pinion bearing is definitely a good idea, but the rest is fine.
