Did your truck come standard with "sure grip diff" I could'nt find one in
Austin when I bought mine. If you wanted limited slip you had to buy the
automatic with the 3.90. Oh well, The diff is what I am currently saving
up for. Has anyone had any practice installing one? I have no idea what it
will take. But I would be willing to try, So far the cheapest place I have
found that will do it for me wants $700. Wow! The parts cost $300. So it
makes me wonder how difficult it is... Thats a lot of labor...
Also I have heard three different names for the differential. "Limited
slip","Sure Grip" and "Brute strength posi" by Auburn. Are these all
basically the same thing??
Won't do any good to buy anymore go fast parts however till I can make it go
forward...
