Got tired of getting stuck

Sick of getting stuck on flat wet grass. Was going to rebuild the clutch packs but this wasn't much more. Need to find a friend with a dial indicator now. Will post pics of the install.

Keith, If your truck is a 4X4 why are you getting stuck?

Well technically I guess im not but I don't want to keep putting it in 4wd and lock hubs just to go up a grassy incline.

They do but no way I want a detroit locker on a tow rig. This will do the trick, ask roland. In fact I plan to hound him for install advice.

Let us know how the install goes. Recently had one put in to replace the open diff on my 2wd and I've been really happy with it.

(Didn't want to have to screw with friction modifiers or worn clutch packs on the stock system.)

Nice Keith. I might be in the market unexpectedly, my rear is slightly moaning, seems like its coming from that area or a bad rear bearing. The fluids fine but we'll see. Congrats and yes, Roland knows his stuff, he did it..
