Re: help used posi carrier locking up
Did you take the possi apart and go through it?
I assume by locking up it won't go around a corner without sliding the tire(s). I have only seen them seriously lock up when the spider gears were chewed up or the clutches were rusted together. My suggestion would be tp pull the cover and check it out! Jim

Re: help used posi carrier locking up
The possi units are engaged at all times so the plates or other locking mechanisms have to slip when the truck goes around a corner.
I assume you have a clutch type possi unit and not a "gove" unit. If it is a clutch possi, try adding more possi additive. Jim

Re: help used posi carrier locking up
the posi in my '70 was doing the same thing! i added posi fluid(cheap stuff) to it when i filled it with valvoline 85/90 dino gear oil and added more posi additive. it was still sticking. i drained the fluid, added some GM posi additive and mobil 1 gear oil and cured the problem...
