Default Chrysler corperate posi

I got a quote of $282 for a factory posi unit + $190 to install. Questions...#1, the corperate posi that comes factory in rams; is it any good? Im looking for a very streatable posi unit. 99% street, 1% track. Question #2, Is that a decent price? $85 an hour sounds like a good deal to me for a rate. 2 hours for posi, 2 hours for gears. what do you think about the time quote too?

One more thing. If anyone has a set of 410s that they want to get rid of, let me know.

I'm not a huge fan of the factory LSD. Mine just failed at 65000 miles and not with a ton of abuse either. It's the only thing to fail prematurely on my truck. While I was never a huge fan of Auburn, I've heard pretty good things about the performance posi they make for our trucks. On the flip side, that seems like a pretty reasonable price you've been quoted.

Were those prices quoted from a dodge dealership? That seems to be a really good deal compared to what I was quoted at Cottman.

I'm looking into Auburn myself as I think they've spent a little more time in the R&D beyond what Chrysler did on these rear ends. It all depends on what kind of customer service they give me in the next few days though.

the summit posi is for a older 99.75 diff not this one. that price is great i get 6 hrs at 94.00 an hr for an overhaul. 282 is like cost for a unit. list is higher than that i belive.

has anyone tried replacing the clutchs ina half ton posi with ones from a dana 60 posi. i heard they were the same clutches. i can get new clutches for 60 through chrysler but not a 9.25 by application. or will the ones from the 9.75 diffs work?

Sounds like a good price on both the lsd and install.

My stock suregrip lasted me 50k miles, 900 1/4mile passes (all with burnouts) with about 650 of them on slicks. Lots of testing on deserted roads and generally driving it like I stole it. Figure I did ok considering how much abuse it had to take. Currently have the Auburn H/P in it the last 3yrs.Auburncarrieris a fair bit beefier than the stock unit.Auburnlsd requiresdino oil (running synth prior) so thatand the beefier diffslowed my truck on the 1/4mile by about .15 secondswhich is probably about7rwhp.

For the price and how you use the truck, probably better off with the oem.

I have one waiting to be installed, got it on eBay for $150.00 plus $22.00 shipping (OEM, new in box....woo hoo!). I did a lot of research and would have gone with a true-trac but for the price. I hope the factory one will get me by for another 70,000 miles. I will be changing the fluid in the rear diff every 25,000 miles. Maybe that will help keep things working. Found a guy locally that worked at a Dodge dealership for 17 years. He says he'll put it in for me for $100.00 and a six pack. Scheduled next week!
