Hey All,
I just got a powertrax no slip to put in the 12 bolt in my 73 K5 but the damn thing doesn't fit. Basically, the diameter on the side gears is about 40 mm and the diameter on the couplers on the locker that replace the side gears are freakin 42 mm.
I was looking around on the powertrax site and their app guide lists Open diffs or GM Gov Locs (no application for the latter). When I pulled the cover off, I definitely had some kind of posi unit in there and when I took out the side gears 80% of the clutch plates just crumbled into multiple pieces so pretty sure it was smoked.
In any case, how common were 12 bolt truck axles with posi's in that era. Does anyone know if the carrier from a posi axle is different from the carrier in a true open diff???
I tried to call powertrax all day today and no one answered so I am hoping to find some answers.
