posi rear

[black95]

want to do a straight posi in my truck, here are my options
1)weld the spider gears
2) install a mini spool
the stock limited slip really blows. i am fully aware of the hop and have driven a striaght posi truck before , not concerned just want opinions on the method

If you plan on driving it on the street that much i would not do either of those. I have heard good things about the detroit trutrac

 

[clean454]

u can Lincoln lock (weld spiders) it the tires are gunna chirp when cornering slow like parking lots.. and what not, or just put a decent posi in the rear I.E used from the junk yard or have it rebuilt ina shop, id prefer the shop todo it.

detroit like said is very good, and eaton..

 

[blueflamed03]

get a posi, do NOT weld spiders, cheapest route and works is mini spool...but plan on going through rear tires as the inside will drag and wear faster on each turn. So pay more now for a real locker.

Detroit TruTrac FTW..............

The guy that is doing my my gears and locker told me to get the detroit locker because the trutrac breaks alot. My friend has one on his 72 blazer and it sucks. Guy at 4 wheel parts told me that since I have z71 i should go with detroit if i wanted to see difference. That they already come with a good locker in them from the factory.

just got a true trac in mine, happy so far but I have not yet tested it out to much

i have the eaton in mine and love it!!

spool just arrived today. thanks for your advice, but i can't take my shit rear anymore. run the spool till the rear blows again, then a trutrac. going to install in boces on friday with mikeyboys help, then test the shit out of it over the weekend!!

your gonna love the traction you get in straight lines, but you will have a hard time turning, lol its gonna wanna keep going straight. so give your self some extra turning space. and you will now need to use the throttle to steer a little just to help you out.

LOL to be 17 again ...

 

[DJTricky]

lol to be 20 again...

 

[black95]

thanks tricky, i know it will take a lil while to get used to, especially in the rain. i did not ignore your past advice, i just got pissed at my truck and said **** it.

 

[DJTricky]

lol your gonna love it in the rain, i slide every corner, exit ramp and turn. i always said that "being able to drive with a spool is a test of a mans driving skill, if you can deal with the slide then you can really drive."

in the rain go to a big open lot and practice your sliding. lol its fun with a spool

 

[blackcoffee]

Sounds like fun, just run it till it blows like you say. Then you have an excuse to go find a 14Bolt THEN drop the trutrac in it.

 

[black95]

did the spool yesterday. it is a little rougher than i thought , but it is a ****** animal so i'll give it a week to get used to it and see if i can learn to drive it a little smoother

 

[DJTricky]

lol yeah there a beast, wait till you have to make a u turn haha

 

[black95]

did it already, pain in the ass. do you drive your truck on the street everyday?? i can do sick donuts in small places now!!: )

 

[foreverfalcon40]

I have no idea what most of you guys are talking about. I have a spool, I chirp tires if i gas it good. But if I take nice and slow like a non aggressive driver turning is a breeze. I have yet to attempt a doughnut as I am afraid of breaking shit and wearing my tires b/c they r fuggin exspensive to replace.

I still don't know how ur tranny is alive and well!
