I’ve got a Explorer with an 8.8 IRS and an open rear diff.
Looking to swap 4.10s and install a rear posi.
I’ve been looking at the the Ford Trac lock with carbon clutches, the Yukon Dura Grip / Eaton Posi with clutch’s, and the Eaton gear True Trac.
I plan on daily driving , towing, and some light off-roading. I was kind of sold on the True Trac being gear driven with nothing to wear out and have heard good things about them… until a came across a post on the SVT forums of many many mustang guys who had run the true tracs and were not happy with them being noisy and clunky. I originally heard they were silent.
The True-Trac is very similar to the Torsen T2 found in the Ranger OEM rear ended.
After a little more searching, I was reading that with one wheel off the ground (which would could happen more with my IRS) that the Torsen wouldn’t transfer power that well to a planted wheel on the ground.
Due to price, I’m thinking of just going with a Ford Trac-loc at $275. The Yukon Dura Grip is $550. Not sure how much better this clutch design is over the Trac-loc. And the True-Trac is $600+
sorry for the long rant…. Wondering what others are using for a rear posi and how you like it, how does it perform off-road?
