10.25 go through

Hi guys, I have a trac-loc 3.55 ‘96 10.25 where the carrier races have spun even with caps torqued down. A new timken race spins and old races have a light wear pattern and I can fit a .0016 feeler leaf between. I think that housing is shot and I’m not comfortable rigging it with ****** and shims to work.

So, I bought a ‘92 10.25 and the plan is to swap in the 3.55 trac loc carrier for the benefit of tracloc and the later style longer pinion/yoke.

wanted to see what you guys recommend if this is a good idea, I know tracloc is not the best but this is a low buck but new bearings/seals/brakes build. Wasn’t sure if these TL carriers were known to tend to spin races like I see has happened or create similar problems? I realize I can go out and buy a $900 new carrier and $250 gear set but was hoping to avoid that if this could be run.

thanks for any recommendations or yea/nays, this is for a swap into a diesel ‘72 f250.

Appreciatively
Sam
