    Eaton 9.5" 14 bolt LSD bites the dust

    Nope, not a trutrac. I've been getting the dreaded one wheel peel at the track so bought clutches and springs to rebuild it. Tore it down and found the casting where the spider gear for the axles is galled up, spider gears are munched, clutches had no sign of material left on them and the whole thing is toast unless I want to do a poor boy posi and weld the spiders to the housing and each other. Now on to the search for a tru-trac.

    Yeah, I know. It hurts every time I buy one. Two for the 10 bolt and now 2 for the 14 bolt.
