Re: posi unit

Tell us more about your truck and how you intend to drive it. That will influence recommendations.

Re: posi unit

That has to be possibly the most vague question I've ever read here.

Re: posi unit

I installed a Powertrax unit in my 12 bolt 68 truck. Seems like a nice unit. Cheaper than a complete limited slip but is suppose to break free when taking a curve. Haven't been able to try it yet but it's an option.

Re: posi unit

Truetracs are excellent units but be aware that if one wheel is off the ground they will act like an open differential because the torque biasing effect is only useful when both tires have some amount of traction. For this reason I would not recommend them for heavy duty off-roading. However, they work great on the road, snow, and light duty off-roading.

Re: posi unit

Junkyards or craigslist. It'll need to be rebuilt.
