I am in the process of building a T-Bucket and I think I would like to have a limited slip. Now, I've heard some guys say ya don't need one in a car that light. I am not sure on that. I don't want to spin the crap out of one tire when I do a smoky burn out!

What say you? Pros, cons. It will go in a 10 bolt S10 rear diff. Suggestions on what unit to buy.

Thanks, Fellas

I put an eaton in mine. Every thing is more fun with a posi

When i read the title of the post the first thing that came to my mind was the 60's & 70's...

Far out man!

Hey man i knew this place was just like ... far out there man..hey what did timothy leary put in this punch

If ya make enough smoke with one tire,nobody is gunna know if they are both spinning,when you disappear into your own cloud of tire smoke..

Eaton. Having said that, i am wondering if you have ever driven a posi before. They can be a little treacherous in a light vehicle when going around a corner.

Eaton's Detroit TruTrac is the ultimate, IMO. No friction wear points, no additives, tough as nails and smooth as silk.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

what he said,

I don't know why, but a non posi will light up both tires if you get it spinning fast enough. My Son Don's T bucket has a non posi and it lays down two even black stripes when he hammers it.

I've said the same thing as the guys about how a posi can drive a light car straight ahead on turns, but I haven't seen that with my 27. It has a Trackloc and hasn't had that tendency at all so far.

Don,I had that happen to me once,in a late model Aussie Holden flatdeck ute I owned..It had an LSD under it,and almost lost it going around a traffic island on a wet road..No weight on the arse end,lost traction,and just pushed me straight ahead...Scary stuff..Came close to hitting a couple of cars parked on the side of the road..Not again,thanks..

Well, maybe I'll just stay with the rear end I have and see what happens.

Drove my T for 10 years with a Detroit Locker fitted in the 9", I wouldn't be without one myself.
