110k miles mile rebuild on Traction Lok in progress. I purchased Ford Racing Traction-Lok rebuild kit: FMS-M-4700-B. This was the standard cheaper kit.
I read the tech article on the various options to pack more clutches into the carrier but wanted to get a feel for how people liked the performance of the standard rebuild in the Ranger. Found some stuff for the Mustang crowd regarding handling and such but my '93 is big and slow and has the turning performance of a worn-out 70's Eldorado. Doesn't seem to be much feedback on performance of a basic rebuild versus the upgraded alternatives. So this is my first time doing this rebuild and I've never owed a new truck so I don't know how "good" Ford intended it to be. So my question is: By adding the extra clutches (alternating method), how does the drivability change over the standard rebuild. Is it super unpredictable under light throttle in turns on wet pavement? I want as much bias as I can get without constantly chasing my tail. I have 33x12.50 mud tires if that makes any difference. Truck is primarily used for utility purposes and daily driving with occasional use as a hunting/expedition rig (no serious wheeling).
