Default Differential for strange s60
Im going to have a strange s60 built for my car, (gbody monte carlo, auto, 400rwhp.) And im not sure which differential to use. I guess my three options are a track-lok, true-trac, or a detroit locker. My car will be almost entirely street driven, no road racing, and maybe a handful of runs at the drag strip. Opinions please?

For posi I really like the Truetrac, I've been running one for the past couple of years. Or two, a spool.



TrueTrac never failed me!

The Trutrac is a good posi but the Strac is designed with the same clutchless principle yet its both stronger and 8lbs lighter. I also like that the Strac is USA made and the Trutrac is built outside of the USA.

If You want additional help with Your S60 I would be glad to help. call 316-299-8427

My biggest question is should i even consider the clutch style track-lok? I know the clutches wear out over time. But are the clutches in a dana 60 big enough to last and be durable?

Do some research on the STrac, like Carl mentioned. It seems to be a great product.

Yes the S-trac for the S60 does carry a lifetime warranty.
