Thanks for a little more insight, Maintain.
Am I to understand then you advise
against the Detroit locker for towing, and in snow? Just want to clarify.
I dropped a 12 bolt posi in an Olds Cutlass I'd also found a 455 for 100 lives ago, and that damn thing'd spin right around inside of itself on me if the wheel was at all turned when I punched it.
I do remember it being good in the snow as long as I kept weight in the trunk and my foot well out of it though. Air-shocks kept the ride height level or a little higher in the back. I seem to remember a couple hundred pounds of sandbags back there during the winter.
The tires, outside of Winter, never seemed to last long enough to develop a strange wear pattern - for some reason...
My van has waaay too much weight in it. A 1 ton, the only thing keeping it from dragging its' nuts on the ground are the "Air-Lift" air bags I installed at each corner.
I'm absolutely sure the weight (and distribution thereof) is the only reason I haven't had any trouble getting through the snow, yet.
Is the true track really the better unit for me? Serious question, which is why I started this thread, I value all the experience and opinions of everyone here.
Thanks again, Maintain, and everyone else
