Has anyone converted to posi rear end?
Hey peoples...
I have the full slip rear end and I want to convert to posi/limited slip. The performance shop I deal with found me a part made by Auburn I believe. The part description from what I could gather is a ford motorsport 8.8 traction lock... has anyone heard of this or done something simular. I only have 2 wheel drive and I know I'll save myself problems in the snow if I convert to an ls diff.

I installed an Auburn unit in my F-150. The only thing needed out of the ordinary was an oven to heat the ring gear, to make it easier to install. Other than that, it was a very simple swap. I DID add two bottles of Ford's Friction Modifier, which I think your dealer should have in stock. Hope this helps.

Dusky,
There should be a part available, your Ford dealer will have it available, but I found my local performance shop was about $100 cheaper ($600 at p.shop as compared to $700 from Ford). It's all based on your rear end, I have an 8.8", 31 spline axle combo. You should be able to get the rear end info from stickers on the truck.

ps. those are cdn prices.
