MY 9 1/4 POSI IS JUNK ALONG WITH 1 AXEL.
LOOKS LIKE IT HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT.
THE CROSS PIN IS WORN BAD ALONG WITH THE SPIDER GEARS
SIDE GEARS ARE WARN ONLY IN THE MIDDLE
SIDE CONES ARE BAD
RING AND PINION LOOK OK
THE DIFF AND PINION BEARINGS LOOK OK
HAD THE HOUSING AND AXELS NARROWED 3 YEARS AGO
ONLY 5000 MILES ON REAR ASSEMBLY
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BEFORE I BUY ANOTHER ONE

Been a while since I have looked at gears for one but I believe your only choices close to 3.73 are 3.92 or 3.55

Me thinks you shouldn't have put money in a 140k+ rearend or even a 9 1/4 for that matter, not that it's a bad rear I just wouldn't have put any money into it. Buy a truck 60 with a locker and good gears and modify it for your needs. Stronger and better supported by the aftermarket and in the end a much more desireable rear.


Careful, your character's showing!

I think you should turn off the caps, it makes your post harder to read.

You asked what I think.

Maybe you should quote who you intended to insult so they know to be offended.

Why did you shove a GM posi unit in your Chrysler differential?

Why did you have to YELL at everyone?


The kind of damage you described comes from either overheating (low fluid or heavy load) or improper assembly.

A fresh Spicer/ Dana trac loc unit will set you back 3-500 plus the labor.
Not a great performance part, but they have been making them for 30 or so years..so not terrible.

The upgrade to Dana60 will get you the same design trac loc unit in a larger format.

I've found that free sometimes costs more $$$.

9.25 rears are known to have pinion pre-load (crush sleeve tension lessens) and cross shaft wear problems.

Put the discs on a Dana 60.

I got to the "posi" part and gave up. If he can put a GM posi in a Chrysler rearend he doesnt need my assistance.


I am truckless..

The joke's on MRCAPS.

The disc brake parts are unobtanium.
The 74-75 Imperial owners are swapping them out for the drum setup.
