sorry about the sucky pics but you get the pics. that is my thirdmember, the spool may look big like yours but i have 35spline axles and they are huge...
the trutrac for the 9" looks a lot like a spool but just a little different.

Ok, just read into the owner’s manual a little more...
Found out that with the 9in, you need at least 100lb-ft of torque of opposing the other wheel. They recommend spinning one tire on dry pavement and the other on wet. If you have an observer, they tell you if the wheel is spinning faster that the other, hence the limited slip is working. So I did not do that and just set the car up on jack stand again to perform the first heat cycle.
After that, I let it cool down for about 30 min. I then proceeded to back out of my drive way. I knew that if it was difficult to turn and if the wheel skipped or chirped, I would know the answer to my question. To my happiness, none of that happened!
All the worry for nothing! The rear feels as if it were the stock unit, just a little tighter in the corners. I am so relieved and I thank all of you who have given me suggestions and answers. I am off the break it in for the third heat cycle!
BTW... I feel like an ***... all that worry for nothing.

It's all good guys. I just had a buddy revise my tune with a 4.11 gear ratio. I am pleased with it so far because I do not have to slip my SPEC 3+ clutch as much as I used to, and I am in the process of breaking that in too.

I just read all through this thread, I'm glad to see you probably were able to sleep last night. You will be impressed with your new Moser 9 inch, they are very nice rear-ends. Bob

Thanks, Bob, and I am very pleased with it! The final step I got excited and skipped over some important material in the owners manual! Dang brain of mine!

hurry up and get it broke in so I can ride in a car with power and a rear end that can handle it.
