i have a habit of spinning my tires every now and then, and when i do it looks gay bc i only leave 1 mark
and also when i drive in my field, no ruts, yet if its muddy i hafta go 100000mph b4 i hit it

i am tired of all of this and i was wonderin if there was a way to make my truck posi w/o much cost

my friend said something about welding it up posi but hes a moron so idk if thats possible and or safe

 

u can get a locker or something like a truetrac (sp)

 

yea i was gonna do that but how hard would it be to install?

 

10,000 mph is fast as hell sorry couldnt help it



the only way i know of is a locker or regear. if you regear you can go with a stronger gearing without LS and get more power. not my forte though, so i couldnt help much

 

what your buddy is talking about is welding the diff together. this makes both rear wheels turn the same ALL the time. reall bad on tires and axle parts if you ever go around corners. what your looking for is a limited slip diff. look into detroit, eaton, and a few others, just use the search function. another option is a locker which is the same as welding it in that the wheels turn the same ALL the time. however detroit i think is has a locker that will slip a little to allow you to turn corners at slow speeds with no throttle. use that search function.

 

You can get a ratcheting locker like the power trac's locker.

 

I got the LS standard from Ford... I regeared and put in 4.10s... totally a new truck. Drives like a dream come true... best thing I could've ever done.

 

my dad says limited slip will **** me off when i go mudding he told me to go true posi with little to no slip

 

Do you mind me asking you what that cost to have done? I would be interested also. Thanks

 

yea if gas wasnt 4$ a gallon, id have 4:10s on my truck
i have either 3:55s or 3:73s right now idk how to tell, my rev limiter hits at 55 in second gear

 

What's the axle code on your door jamb sticker?

 

You may want to let pops know that limited slip and posi are the same thing.

A locker is a different story, but that's overkill for anything that sees pavement, for the most part.

 

MPGs will suffer little, if any.

With 3.55s, I run about 1300 RPMs doing 55. I could probably save some deeper digging from the auto trans with a few hundred more RPMS when I do have to gas it, which helps fuel mileage.
