I just had the t-lok rebuild put in the rear end of my car and I have Royal Purple Synthetic Gear lube in it and it still one tire fires like nobodys business. I have so much money invested in this piece of shit rear end for it to be smoking one tire. I have damn 4.10s and I'm running 225 junk ass street tires. What is my problem? What else is there to replace? Do I need a whole new posi unit?

did you put the posi additive in the oil?

The clutches were supposedly soaked in friction modifier and the gear lube says "For limited slip, has friction modifier". I was told that it works good. It was damn expensive too.

Its so depressing. Makes me sick inside. I have spent enough on this rear end to have a new 9" drop in, long story, but the least it could do is spin both tires. Everything in it has been redone. T-Lok rebuilt, 4.10 FMS Gears, bearings, seals, everything except axles and posi unit itself.

did you replace them with carbon fiber clutches or regular frpp? did you build the packs the right way? did you shim it the right way? which tire is burning? sorry for all the questions jus figured I would go through the check list lol

I know if its having a hard time spinning both 225 Generals in the cold in a parking lot it will be damn near impossible to heat my 255 ET Street Radials at the strip. I don't know why I'm plagued with a shit rear end. Before the stock posi wore out it hooked like a champ. I have no money in the engine, just a shifter for the trans, but like $1200 worth of parts and labor in the rear and I have nothing to show for it. Engine and trans work flawlessly, this rear end is trash.

Regular FRPP. I had a shop I trust do the work and I believe he knows how to install it as he has done many. From what my friends said, right side was spinning, left wasn't.
