Don't Auburns use cones instead of clutches? I've heard conflicting storys
about Auburns not being rebuildable. Any truth to that?
Cool, I've got one in each of my vehicles.

What the Chrysler factory calls a Sure-Grip, IS the Auburn
Gear clutch-
type limited slip. They work very well.

which to get?
You need the Chrysler 8 1/4" rear end (which you almost
certainly have).
You donŽt have a lot of options. Get the Auburn.

The carrier in the 8 1/4 is two-piece, you simply unbolt the
regular diff,
and bolt in the Auburn as a unit. Supposed to be pretty
straightforward.
If you want the drivetrain warranty to cover it, youŽll have
to have the
dealer or a driveline shop install it, but youŽll pay for
the priviledge.
>the cost to install it? Is it worth it since I have 4WD.
Thanks for any
Check the list archives. Seems to me someone had found a
price of
about $270 for the part itself. IŽd be unhappy if I was
charged over
$500 for the part and labor. Shop around.
YouŽll notice the difference right away offroad, especially
on loose
sand or gravel. If you have a V8, you NEED the LSD to get
the power
to the ground - even on asphalt.
Enjoy,
Jim
