School me on Dana 60 carrier for street strip

Hi guys, I have a D60 in my e body, it’s a 35 spline 3.74 Strange S-Trac, I’m about to order a second one for my ‘70 Roadrunner but I’m not sure which carrier to choose S-Trac or other. Reason being, currently when I pull up on the street, either foot brake it or just mash it, I only have the left wheel spinning similar to an open centre, I can’t run a spool or Detroit type locker on the street as the cops go nuts on these so I’m left with a clutch or helical gear type carrier. Give my your thoughts please?

I have a Power-Lock in my Savoy and it works very well almost too tight when I'm pushing it by myself

The S Trac should be the best option. Not sure what is wrong with the one you have now, sounds like it isn't working correctly. Contact Cass at DoctorDiff.com and see what he recommends.

as Andy just posted. I have a 35 spline s-Trac and 3.73 gears in my Dana 60 and it burns both tires during burnout and the leave. You need to get your diff checked out, there is something definitely wrong. Best setup I ever had in that car.

Thanks Fellas, I speak regularly with Cass, I’ve emailed Strange several times but only one answer which was what date did I buy it and nothing else, I’m sure something is up, I’ll delve into that another day, right now I need to order a diff, Cass strongly recommends the S-Trac as well so all good

The cops get mad if you spin two tires, but they’re OK with one??? Am I not understanding this?

The cops probably just believe all the old tired comments about running a locker on the street......Like your car will burst into flames and flip over if you go around a turn with a locker.

They probably just don't like tires squeeling or chirping turning around corners. If your talking about frying the tires in a straight line then no cop on the planet is going to approve of that whether it is one tire or two. . Been there, done that, got the trophy.

They have "Anti Hooning" laws in Australia, going round a corner squealing the tyres due to a spool or just under power will earn you a ticket.
Shouldn't really have an issue with a detroit locker, it should unlock going round a corner, I don't know mine is there.

I agree, I have a yukon grizzly locker in my 9" and no issues on the street with it

Yes the Anti Hooning laws suck here, I have been pulled over on the side of the road on a grassy gravel area and been made drive in a tight circle where had I have had a locker etc the inside wheel would have turned/slipped on the surface, guy before me had a locker and the car was pink slipped for unroad worthy FFS

The locker in mine doesn't do that, it pretty much must disengage instantly on any turn, I also barely hear a thing, full lock or other wise. The only time I've heard it disengage, I was pushing it from the rear. I've never heard it from the inside. I don't know if some of the earlier ones were a bit "coarse" in operation but the one I got works perfect.

Too bad they took your guns away,

Shooting cops at traffic stops is a proud tradition in some parts of our great nation

Mainly by illegals and their importers

NO BLASTING AT LEO'S !!! their job is hard enough !

i have been a police commissioner since 1985, and am now the senior member.
i am VERY PROUD of our current force, and they are TRULY doing a GREAT job !
i acknowledge there are bad apples, and they are hard to deal with. [i speak from experience, and it was not pretty !]

i apologize to you guys. i went off on a rant. sorry.
please forgive me.

No apology needed, THANK YOU for what you do !!!!

Yes they did - all the assault/semi auto/auto ones at least.

Still have my shotguns and Winchester big bore .375 lever.......for now.

As do millions here.

Don't believe all the crap you read online.

I had never heard of hooning so off to google I went. All I can say is wow that sucks.

So a "Hoonigan" is someone that hoons...........
Cousin to a hooligan..........?

I watched all the Mad Max films and I don't recall any anti-hooning laws being enforced. In fact, I think there was a lot of hooning going on in those movies.

think most of the roadkill episodes.

Hooning sounds a lot like what went on every day when school let out in the late 50's through most of the 60's.

Maybe even through the 70's.

Lol, I checked off all of those except "playing loud music from a car stereo". Now that's anti-social behavior.
