Hey
I was wondering if there is a way to convert my limited slip to a posi rear end. Like new axles or wat. Any hlep would be great. Oo ya my truck is a single cab 93 f-250

limited slip = posi

much like,

potato = spud

posi is just a general motors half-term, supposed to be posi-traction. Ford uses Trac-lok. Both clutch style limited slips.

then how come when i get on it in dirt only 1 wheel spins?

Because limited slips are limited at best...more like worthless. You MIGHT be able to either replace the clutches or cram some extra clutches into the factory l/s you have, but either way, you are not going to gain much.

If you want both tires to pull, either look for a Detroit or an ARB...not cheap, but they actually work.

Just to let you know, my 05 F250 has the l/s rear...but even on a brand new truck is is all but non-existant.

You have several options...

Rebuild what you have -- cheap and effective for a while.
Change the carrier to a true Detroit Locker -- expensive but lasts forever.
Change the spider gears over to a "lunchbox locker" ala Aussie, etc. -- works well as a true locker, but not as strong as the Detroit.
Change the carrier to a selectable locker -- electrac, ARB, etc. -- expensive but effective.

I run the Ford trac-loc setup in my daily driver, but set the clutch plates up tight for better traction out of both tires (you have a choice of shims) It's not as good as a true locker, but then I also get to drive the truck home after I'm done wheeling because I don't break axle shafts.

On a pure wheeler, I'd go locker or even weld everything (Lincoln Locker -- cheap, but difficult to steer).

spool it

ok i like the idea of the lockers. I was searching around and found a detroit gearless locker for $299. wat do you all think about that? Also does anyone no wat size dif my truck has?

Thanks

I'm thinking that it should be a 10.25 Sterling.

The gearless locker, if I'm not mistaken, is installed very similar to the Lock-right...it replaces the spider gears in a factory open case. Nothing wrong with them, but you can't install any of the lunchbox lockers in a l/s diff.
