    I think its time for a spool. At your level you will always tear up posi units.

    Exactly.....not that bad on the street either. Like a tight posi.

    I went thru numerous "brute strength" units before going spool. Cracked caes, broken spider gears, snapped cross pins.

    Never tried the new Eaton with carbon fiber discs....might be worth a try if you really want to stay with posi.

    Hi Guys,

    My choice is a Detroit Locker any day over a spool IF you are going to see ANY kind of street duty! You won't break one of these and they unlock when going around corners. No clutches or spring packs to wearout either. You do have to get kind of used to the ratcheting sound coming from the rearend but it lets you know it's working! All in all...I LOVE my Locker in my GS conv.!:TU: I plan on exchanging the Eaton 30-spline posi unit I have in my Regal's (GN) 8.5" for a Locker a little later down the road.

    Reider Racing has Detroit Lockers for MOST every application! Here is a link to their listings...

    Hope this helps...:)

    Spool

    If you decide to go to a spool, I will be taking mine out of my car sometime in the next few weeks. I am putting it back to street duty and my new race car has a Fo*# nine inch. I will sell it to you at a reasonable cost, if you need it. 12 bolt GM for 4 series gears. Send me a PM & let me know. Thanks, Steve
