Who here has the most knowledge on the Trac-Lok?
We recently picked up the '98 Grand and the rear differential is doing interesting things. I suspect that the clutches are not releasing which is causing the symptom. I am also suspecting that is is a Trac-Lok back there... It was the only limited slip that was available, right?
What symptom you ask? In a tight turn (wheels hard into the turn lock) the outside rear wheel will chirp as though it is being dragged.
My question is:
Can this happen? I have heard of the clutches refusing to engage but, not let go?
Will appreciate responsible replies that do not include the "It is just junk throw it away" sort of theme. The Grand is the Wife's Street Jeep replacing the '96 Full Size Bronco she had before. At least I have her in a Jeep after nearly a decade of Ford...
Thanks in advance. I do not have experience with this limited slip as I tend to install Detroit Lockers.... Like what is in my XJ.
And yes, it is not an XJ question per se but.................. The silly diff came in the XJ as well.
