Rebuilding 8.8 Trac Loc

June 17, 2011, 11:16:01 PM

I've got an 8.8" Trac Loc Rear end. It needs new clutches which I've only priced through eBay at $135, is this a good price? Where is the best place to buy from. Also the ring gear has a tiny, tiny chip in one of the teeth, the size of a tic tac at best. Is this something to worry about? I would like to swap this rear in after replacing clutches, and would have no problem driving it considering I'm pushing 130hp at best in my stock 5.0 with exhaust. Any help with parts is appreciated.

I get my 8.8 rebuild kits from them. Quality and have never had a complaint from the guys that have installed/rebuilt the rear ends over the years.

This is how i do it. You can UP date to CONE unit for much better performance. Replacing the entire unit is the way to go if you have the CASH. They also come in 31 Spline
