Anyone rebuild the oem limited slip?

[DZL JIM]

One wheel burn-out...
Not happy.
I have only put a couple thousand miles on my '05 F-250 so I'm guessing the stock clutches are just gone.

Anyone rebuild theirs?
If so, is there an upgraded clutch that can be used?

Thanks.

All I know is when mine goes im doing an elocker or trutrac haven't quite decided...

 

[Zmann]

lots of info out there
some tried to add a disc or clutch etc

search sterling limited slip rebuild

I have been thinking about doing it myself

Rebuilt mine, it works ok. I'm running an oil with no additive, and I didn't add any. Yes it chatters a bit, but locks up pretty good. Once it craps out, trutrac is going in.

Honestley I have tried rebuilding them several times and even new they won't hold very good. They are super easy to rebuild as well. I have never tried the yukon clutch kit that randys ring and pinion offers I've always used ford clutches. The 9.75 is an awesome unit so I wish ford would have done the same with the 10.5's. I would really just throw it up on ebay or craigslist andbuy a tru trac.

:whs: My truck does the same as your Jim. I will be ordering a tru trac as soon as i get my trans build done.

Does anyone know the average cost of a tru track ?

I believe about 600 bucks. Non shipped.

I put a new axle assembly in my truck. I have a rear pinion and the entire internals (ring gear all them parts sitting under a table in my garage.
It is 05- f250
373-10.5

It's not worth the time and parts to rebuild. It will fail again.

Just put a truetrac in it, I assure you, you will come out ahead.

I honestly don't know how long I'll have the truck for so I don't think changing the unit is a cost effective option if I only keep the truck a few years.
For $120 from Ford I figure I might give it a shot.

Thanks for the input all.

Got a trutrac from summit and it was installed at local dealership (Babbitt Ford is very good)
Spent about $1k total

Yup, I called them to make sure, and that's the price they gave me.

 

[Zmann]

at least they could try to up sell them as better than OEM plates .. heck the might be OEM plates at twice the cost?

If i was going to trade my open diff for a limited slip out of a 04 Gasser what should I have to do that?

I rebuilt my stocker in the dually and while it was the easiest rear end I have ever done, and it held up well and would spin both rear tires afterwards I'm sure with all the added power I have now it won't for long

 

[alwil]

$600 for a trutrac is not too bad of a deal if it is a better setup than the traclock setup.

Jim, Did you pull it apart yet? The reason I ask is sometimes they will stack the clutches and steels incorrectly so the truck doesn't chatter. My F350 7.3 was this way and all I did was rearrange to the correct clutch, steel, clutch, steel....

No, not yet.
I have read a lot of that same issue, though, so I figure I have to pull the cover to confirm 2 or 3 pinion anyway, I might just check out the plates, and if they are not in the 'proper' order, maybe I'll try that before buying a rebuild kit.

Thanks!
