[Tigers] Limited slip differential

[GARY WINBLAD]

It was back in the late '90s but the local rear-end shop knew Tigers and put some kind of
clutch type posi in my rear for very few $$.  Like pointed out, most 4x4s use a Dana 44 for the
front axle.  MIne started making bad noises after a few days but Tom Hall told me I needed the
smelly Ford additive, that fixed it right up.
What type do you think they put in mine?

I looked very hard to find one that had the original spline count. Auburn Gear had one but, after two sets that didn’t fit properly I went with the Eaton Detroit TrueTrack. I had to change axles to 28 spline and the pinion as well. The issue that I had was that the Eaton diff is open in the center and required me to fabricate a thrust block. I am really happy with it and I have the Eaton in another vehicle with a Ford 9” which I am also happy with. It works like a charm with no noise and no issues with 'locking up'. It locks up on hard throttle and firmly plants Both rear wheels. Ther are other options. Just check out the Jeep websites. It’s a Dana 44. Don’t let the ’Salisbury’ designation get in your way. At any rate you will at least, IMO, require an axle upgrade. I’d be happy to discuss if you’d like.
