My trac-lock started to go out but i caught the issue before any BS started to occur.
Instead of buying a new T-Lok, i bought a Auburn HD LSD and i have been 100% satisfied on the how the car drives since.
gotta link for that Auburn HD LSD?

unfortunately for me, it's not FRPP's faulty gears, and wasn't my mechanics faulty installation. should a put a new differential in from the start.
well my mechanic was pulling the gears and traction-lok out today, and the tracktion-lok was locked up, and caused 3 of the bolts that hold the ring gear to the traction-lok to vibrate loose, which is the reason the teeth on the gears were missing. so I need a new traktion-lok, but I have no idea what to get. might as well beef it up, and make it worth my while.
so I need to know what do I get? (please provide a link if you can).
thanks in advance
You are being feed so much BS it's not even funny. First of all, I don't see how a track lok would lock up. It has clutchs and would tend to slip in failure. What's more, if it did lock up, you would notice a squeel from the rear around corners and most likely the first thing to break would be an axle.
Obviously, he didn't do the install correctly or these bolts would not have backed out. I would bet he didn't correctly torque these bolts, which caused them to back out, which let the gears move around and break them. Installer error, I'd suggest having him buy you a new differential.

mixedbreed....believe up that a T-lock cant lock up....or you would notice it. Only the clutch packs will slip. If it truely did lock up you would be chirping tires on every corner.
Honestly, it doesnt matter if you watched him, he f'd up.....so have your mechanic re do everything FO FREE!!!
The rear ends from the factory, oddly, don't seem to have a problem with the bolts backing out out. In fact, I have yet to hear of a single incident of this happening on factory installed gears. Funny thing.
It's great that you watched and all, but did you check the torque setting and accuracy of the torque wrench? Did you check that the bolt holes were all clean and dry? Did you check that the correct spec lock tight was used? If you did, I'm surprised you didn't get a fist to the face.

You can shop all kinds of differentials. A Ford racing replacement traction lok is cost effective and reliable way to get you back on the road.
did you have to order new gears or how is that going to come about getting them replaced?
would a warped ring gear cause those bolts to come out?
