1998 to 2003 Rear Axle Swap
No, not yet. We will get one at our garage soon. This one is at the shop that did the gears.
Ok, here are the pics. I was wrong on what I remember it saying. Dang old age memory.
It says Trac Lok on it with the numbers 8012 on the other side. These are the best pics I could get of the numbers and wording due to their location.
Trac Lok

8012

The rest of the gearing



So I guess bottom line is I have a LSD.
haha!

Well you can leave it or install a locker. Where you are on road I would probably leave it, just remember to install at least 7oz friction modifier to it first then add your gear lubricant.
What were you thinking about doing?

It's all done. I looked at it and misread it when they installed the 4.56 gears in it two weeks ago.
The Trac lok is fine for me. The gears on the other hand are bad *** with the 35" tires. Puts my RPMs back in the right range, but sure does chew on the gas now.
Just finished sandblasting shocks and rear cover and painting them red. Not sure yet of the look, but something different. May or may not sticker the shocks.

Worked on this today. Will be painted tomorrow and then installed once I get longer bolts for the differential.
Here is a teaser of it tacked together.

Once I finish, I will do a write up on it.

So,before you've installed a prop valve,how do the breaks feel? Notice a difference from the drums?
