short question: Can you remove the one legger guts out of a nine inch Ford diff, and put locker guts inside, or are the housings physically different, that would prevent this?
I was thinking I could save a few bucks if I bought this:

and this:

But the same guy sells new 8 and nine inch clutch type traction locks for 325.00
I want a detroit clutchless locker. I need to just man up and whip out the check book.
:-(
The thing about the traditional trac-lok for me, is the PITA to pull it out and install new clutches...
"How often you really need to do that? I have over 100,000 miles on mine, still above torque limits. "
I'm not sure how often they need rebuilt, but are you abusive with your take off's? Lots of rolling smoking burnouts? I guess I won't drive like I would have 20 years ago, but I still have a few burnies left in me!
