Message: [QUOTE="mandkole, post: 249022, member: 4630"] The friction disk clutch packs just wear out from use. There is a Belleville style spring washer that applies the pressure to friction materials. Many guys don't report getting much more than 40-50K out of a set of packs before they start deciding to not work under a hard load. My rig is driven so little that it didn't make sense to go with a better performing mechanical (tru-trak style) diff. In my research, there is no effective 'tightening' of plates without having issues with poor operation (mentioned above) or even faster wear of the plates. You really load the spring and my diff/trans guy did not recommend it. My old plates got clunky in tight turns from being worn out. You could weld the spiders and just turn it into a spool-- it would then be locked all the time. [/QUOTE]
