street driven daily driver/ spirited drivingI think you should tell us HOW you intend to use the car. Questions such as:
Otherwise this is a purely academic discussion. Why? Because rarely are real world DIY'ers made of $$ with unlimited budgets.
- Is this a track car or a street driven daily driver?
- How much HP are you making?
- What are your PLANS for the car?
- What is your budget for the project?
Stick with a limited slip. The full locker style rears tend to be more trouble than it's worth if the car is street driven, especially in the rain.
BTW, posi is a GM trademarked named for their limited slip. Gm is "Positraction", while ford is "Traction-lok". They are both limited slip differentials
thanks for the input. next question is best place to look for an 8.8 trac lok disc brack rear? what cars can I source this? and will anything if anything be useful from the 7.5 in my car?
I`m not sure if the ranger is a traction-lok LSD but they do have a 7.5 LSD that is interchangable(so ive heard) as is the final drive.

As a tech could you confirm?
The pre 1986 Mustang GT's had it but no disc brakes unless it is a '93 Cobra.
