Re: trac-loc
It won't hurt to use a gear lube that contains a friction modifier if
your axle doesn't have a Tracloc. 99.9% of all the gear lubes you can
find on store shelves will already have that additive however so it's
not necessary to add more.
To tell if you have one, jack up your rear axle and spin one of the rear
tires. If the other tire spins in the same direction, a Tracloc is
present. If the other tire spins in the opposite direction, you don't
have a Tracloc.... or possibly you have a Tracloc with a completely worn
out clutchpack. A label on the differential cover advising the need for
the additive is another indication of a Tracloc's presence.

Thanks, I gave the wheel a spin and the other wheel spins in the
opposite direction. I did find a tag on the diff cover does not say
anything about trac-loc, I love this news group....... :-}
