Which posi?

I have looked around online and have come across two
different places that supply Eaton posi's.

Tom's Differentials http://www.tomsdifferentials.com

Randy's Ring and Pinion http://www.ring-pinion.com

Randy's has it (
http://www.ring-pinion.com/ProductDe...spx?ProdID=513
) for $439 while Tom's has it (
http://www.tomsdifferentials.com/catalog.asp?pg=12
part #C12T-EP4 ) for $345.

Is there something there that makes one of them worth
$100 more?

Re: Which posi?

I believe they are both reputable businesses, I have bought from Randys w/ no problem. I would call them both and get the feel....

Re: Which posi?

Some places sell to the general public at about a 10-15% markup from WD pricing. I got my eaton carbon posi from Reider Racing; they were about $100 cheaper than West Coast Differential and Randy's R&P.
