2 Wheel Drive Posi ???

Does anyone have a posi rear end in their 2wd truck. I know my truck will get stuck on wet grass. I have an extra rear end that I thought I might build into a posi. Anyone know what it cost. How about some ideas.

Parts guy ed has the best price on this kit: F7524947 AB . It is what I will be rebuilding mine with. Supposedly gets our slip rear end to be pretty close to posi by adding more shims and what not. It cost around $123.00.
I'm assuming you would need the same kit as me.

You won't find a posi unit in a Ford. A Buick, yeah. Maybe even one transplanted into a Chevy, but not a Ford.

My 2-wheel drive LSD is gonzo. I plan on replacing it with a Detroit Truetrac limited slip diff. I have one in my Lightning and I love it.

PS - Ford calls their LSD's TractionLok.

Heh, I'd love something with limited slip or a locker, my stinking truck loves to get stuck in 2wd, sometimes 4 too.
