I plan on taking out the Detroit Locker this winter and replacing it with a limited slip unit.
It's an 8 1/4 carrier on a mostly stock car and I see there's two differentials available.
There's a Yukon posi unit built like a GM unit. And there's a Spicer Trac Lock unit that says it's good to 350 horsepower.
They cost about the same and there both in stock.
Just wondering if there's any differences that makes one better than the other?
 
Make sure you have the right carrier 2.45 and lower for say 3.55 gears. lOOK IN THE 8 1/4 THREAD WE BEAT THEM UP PRETTY GOOD IN THERE.
 
I run an auburn sure grip. Seems to be a well made unit. The trac loc seems a little weaker but never used one so not sure.
