Posi: First test of how well it works
MAN OH MAN! Used to, if I went from dead idle-WOT, it would just put the rearpassenger tire up in smoke, and not really move forward. But with the posi in there now, when I go from dead idle-WOT, it immediately kicks to about a 45deg angle, and goes forward like that, until about 4000rpm (in first) where it hooks up and GOES. Forward movement is good! (Even if it IS at a 45deg angle!)
I was really expecting to put BOTH tires up in smoke, but I guess it's not meant to work that way (instead of the tires just spinning FAST in one place, thus creating the smoke; they move fast and propel my truck with that momentum) Makes sense I guess...sure FEELS faster! |

Your feeling more of the torque that used to be all tire smoke that is more traction now.

Yeah, I knew that. I was responding to 71-longbed's concern about you not breaking your gears in....

Tim bought an Eaton which replaces the carrier. That means the ring & pinion gear positioning has changed, if only by very little (depends on how it's installed). I would treat it like i would treat a new ring&pinion being broken in, just to prevent unnecessary wear.
