Default Broke the posi unit :(

Well the topic line pretty much explains it, I can turn one wheel in back without much effort with the other tire still on the ground. When I brake something I hate to not improve it if I'm going to work on it. So What's available out there. The only real upgrade that I've seen is an AuburnGear Pro Series, anybody try one of these or know about them, or any other heavier duty units?

:cheers:
Thanks
Pat Kunz

Don't tell me you haven't heard of Toms Differentials. They offer 7 different stages of heavy duty Corvette diffs.

Yep, talk to Tom's. I have a rear there right now, but they can't get to it for 3-4 weeks :(

If you are not drag racing, why bother fixing, That is a real pain to fix for little pay back.

IMHO the stock unit is better then the Auburn unit. I haven't had to yet but when I do the differential I'll go with Tom's components.
