Theres is a local guy selling a factory track loc carrier from his D44. I really dont know about them and how they work. I've installed an Eaton E locker in my D30, would the track loc be an inexpensive upgrade for my D44? Thanks in advance! Oh yeah, it's the carrier and axle shafts, all for $80. Was gonna take the axles for spares...

Gee oh Dee

I thought that was just the OEM limited slip...

Juan4you

I think so...would limited slip help out on the trail?

Gee oh Dee

Its better than an open diff but worse (in most applications) than a full locker.

If you get far enough, or even pick a tire up, that limited slip will be just like an open diff.

That helped! I Googled limited slip and got some answers. I tried track loc but gave me for sale items. I think for $80 it's a good deal for now

Gee oh Dee

Careful. Most limited slip diffs use clutches of sorts, and they wear out.

But if your getting shafts with it...hell....thats a good deal.

I have a trac loc. I shimmed my clutch pack so it locks up firmer. It works perfect for me.

I ran limited slip in the front and rear of a Ford truck I had. It wheeled hard enough to surprise all the Jeepers I wheeled with. It just didn't fit between the trees very well most of the times. I liked my cheap wheeler.

Now you lost me! I'll have to ask my buddy about doing that for me, I just know I can't afford a rear locker for a while...unless I score a deal as I did with the front one.

odgreen

Shim it. I run tru trac front shimmed rear and go everywhere people with arb's go.

Juan4you

Yeah, stock shafts. Everyone says you should carry and extra pair! I just know the rear I can work on, where as the front diff I had someone do the install...chromolys and locker. Can't do chromoly and locker in the rear...yet!

Gee oh Dee

I think I remember you mentioning that at one point. I'm not that familiar with limited slips, tho.

Don't hate on ARBs. I like em!

Juan4you

Cool, I'm liking these responses. I just hope this guy has it on Wednesday...soonest I can get out there.

Juan4you

Went back to check the sale post, it's the Tj rear D44...is that axle tge same as the '87 Cherokee D44? Carrier and shaft wise?

Juan4you

Just hating on the prices! ;-) lol
