Wow bummer on us missing the awesome track day and bummer on the rear end. Did you have to trailer home or were you still able to drive it?

Damn. Sorry about that. Are you going to go stock replacement or beef it up a bit?

I was able to drive it home. All it did was take away the clearance between the ring and pinion gear by the amount of the crack which is what was causing the noise and the binding.

I don't have the money to invest in upgrading it and this one lasted 160,000 miles so I'm just going to go with another Trac-Loc. If I had the money I would upgrade to a 31 spline Eaton but that would run me about $1000-$1200. I can get a Trac-Loc for around $200 and then I just need new carrier bearings. I'm going to see if GTR has one and if not I'll order it from Summit tomorrow.

Hey guys, I found a video on You Tube of the pass that I broke the carrier on. I don't know who it is that video taped it but I did a search on You Tube and found it.

Sounds like you had a slow 2-3 shift.

Ford Racing Trac-lok $260
Detroild Locker $450
Eaton $490

Or were you thinking of a electronic locker or something?

The only gear change you can really hear in the video is the 3rd to 4th.

Yes the Eaton is only $490 but then you have axles, c-clip eliminators, bearing kit, etc. By the time I'm done I would have $1000-$1200 into it. That's why I'm just sticking with the stock 28 spline Trac-Loc because I already have Superior axles for it.

It served well and died a good death.

GTR had two used Trac-Locs and sold me one for $60. I also picked up some new carrier bearings, synthetic gear oil and limited slip additive. I'm going to go through the carrier tonight and then install it after work tomorrow night. Then I'm heading over to Throttle Crazy's so we can start building his 383 again.
