I'm putting this in a street driven pick up with a fairly stock 440 and will see some strip time.... anyone out there have and experience with these carriers? What good? What sucks.. I only want to do this rear once.

Not sure which posi name it was, but in a pinch at the track when my Dana posi quit working, I pulled the unit out in the pits and cut the end of a coffee can into a shim to tighten up the discs. It REALY tightened it up, yet was just the right thickness so the case seated properly. No more one wheel wonder burnouts! 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

X2. I bought a strange unit from Cass. So far, so good. He told me its good for 1000hp. I ain't gonna hurt it if that's the case. It handles so nice you would think it was an open diff.

I have one in my Diplomat that I rebuilt with parts from Dr. Diff and it functions great. Always spins two, might push a little, but doesn't shove me off of corners on icy roads or any thing like that. Traclocks are junk. I've taken a bunch of covers off of Danas I thought were open diffs to see that they really had a worn out traclock. I wouldn't waste my time with one of em.

Previously my car had an Olds rear with Ansen spider gear kit to lock it. I never broke it, but I sure hated to push the car by hand! 1996 Ram 1500 Sport 1968 road runner 1952 Sears Allstate licensed, pump gas, Hemi 5.98 @ 115.73 1.33 60 ft. The best is yet to come.
