Kurt K said:Ok, so who's done it? and how hard is it to do? I'd like to rebuild the Traction-Lok in my car before the shootout. Any suggestions?
Kurt K said:Yeah, I knew the part number, but I'm hoping to hear from someone that's actually rebuild their diff.
I do have a backup diff, but:Micahdogg said:If you wanna be the test mule then I'll swing down there and we can check it out Kurt (so I'll know how to do it right) Like you don't have some back-up diffs to grab in a pinch.

I appreciate the offer, but I already have the aluminum FRPP pumpkin that's fairly new. I only need to redo the clutches.scbird1 said:I happen to have the rebuild kit with the rear end for sale. Just add gears and your good to go. I bought the kit from summit {ford racing} and never got around to rebuilding it for my 94 thats sold. $125.+ ship
Now you're thinking, I should have done that when I first installed the FRPP diff. Maybe I wouldn't be rebuilding it now.Nettlesd said:Hey Kurt,
While you're at it, go ahead and throw some Shotpeen media in there before you put it back together. That way, you can bulletproof the rear end while you drive. Just mix some up with your gear oil and you'll be good to go.
Heh, I've got the Ford Service Manual also, but I'm lazy. I'd rather print out a link with pictures, than look up the info in the manual. Plus, the pictures (usually sketches) aren't always the greatest.joshbea6 said:Check with Bill Evanoff at SCP. There might be a chargin thunder article that shows how to rebuild it.
I'm going to be doing it soon as well. I have the Ford Service Manual, so I may have a leg-up on you there.
Sorry for the confusion, you have to understand Duane's sense of humor. The Auburn should be fine for you.Alan K said:Kurt,
What is (are?) the shotpeen media? Right now I've got a '95 with the traction assist, which means an open diff. Hopefully (hopefully!) I'm going to put in an Auburn chunk in the near future. Proablly this winter. What does this additive help with?
