Re: Adding Trac-Lock?
Jerry's right but you can get a Trashlock for the Dana 35 or Dana 44 from
www.4wheelparts.com for about $200. (That doesn't include installation.)
The Trashlock for the Dana 30 used on the front is almost $500 though. I
don't know the reason for the price difference. Do you have some Truetrac
prices handy?
