factory 8.5 30 spline posi?

are you sure yours is 30 and not 28 ? I don't know the answer to your question because I've only seen 30 spline in 4x4 trucks and they usually have a govloc. If you indeed need a 30 spline posi I would go aftermarket. Eaton, Auburn or a powertrax lockrite in an open carrier are some options.

I do have a 30 spline posi with aftermarket moser axles. My posi came out of a mid 90s caprice witch do have 30 spline axles. I'm just wondering if they made any better posi units that are factory?
I'm planning on a Detroit Truetrac whenever I build the 8.5 I have. No clutches and should hold up fine for the street, if I raced I would probably get the Detroit Locker, to my understanding it's stronger than the Truetrac.

Truetracs are kind of weird. Most gear style limited slip diffs are. They sometimes growl or make funny noises, they sometimes make the car feel loose or move around when you lift off the gas in a corner. My new STi has a gear diff in the back and it does the same things as all lthe other gear diffs I've driven.

The true track is definitely "different" in feel from regular clutch/cone posi..
Dodge uses the torsion diff design in there 2500/3500 trucks exclusively.
Never had one make noise... Had a ratchet diff make noise but that's not a torsion doff

X2. Everybody goes for the Eaton, but the Auburn Pro series has much higher torque biasing.
