he just meant that they will be carrying them just not available yet

INtZ · 07-16-2008, 05:26 PM

o ok cool

AMNick · 07-18-2008, 09:49 AM

Yup, I said they were "on order". As in we don't have them but they will be here soon. I beleive we will actually have more then one offering too. Both the Ford Racing T-Lok LSD and an Eaton LSD unit for those that want something a little more heavy duty.

Redrum · 07-18-2008, 01:11 PM

are u guys going to sell it as package like stangmod does?

deputy2313 · 07-24-2008, 06:00 PM

yeah a package deal would be sweet!!!

AMNick · 07-25-2008, 12:41 PM

Probably not because we would want you to be able to choose between the different LSD models and gear ratios. Plus our forum member discount and free shipping takes off about the same amount a package deal would anyway.

deputy2313 · 07-26-2008, 10:29 PM

true that thanks though!

AMNick · 08-01-2008, 08:20 AM

The 7.5 is here! http://www.americanmuscle.com/lsd.html

deputy2313 · 08-01-2008, 01:22 PM

i just saw thanks Nick!!! great product with a even better price

dOcV6 · 08-14-2008, 07:48 PM

does T-lok make you lose trac control?

INtZ · 08-15-2008, 10:42 AM

no you will still have traction control. traction control is controled through the engines computer. you wont even have to mess with the computer unless you change the gear ratio as well(you mite as well if you've got the rear end open no point really in doing one or the other) and then you just have to calibrate your speedo because it will be off a few miles per hour from the new gears

AMNick · 08-18-2008, 09:48 AM

The Trac-Lok has nothing to do with your computer's traction control system. Trac-Lok is just Ford's "brand name" for their limited slip differentials. On a stock V6, you have an open rear end, so basically you have 1 wheel drive. If you do a burnout right now, you will only see 1 wheel spin. But if you install a limited slip differential like the Trac-Lok you will see both wheels spin during a burnout.

Trac-Lok delivers power to BOTH wheels. But at the same time, it allows one of the wheels to "slip" when you are in a turn. By "slip" this is not the wheel loosing traction, but rather it is the clutches inside the Trac-Lok slipping so it allows one of the wheels to turn faster then the other. This is essential on a street car that is powered by two rear wheels, otherwise your rear tires can loose traction in a turn and your back end will swing out.

The benefits of the limited slip differential are equal power to the back wheels for quicker and stronger acceleration, better streetability, and safer driving in inclement weather.

I'm confused..is this an entire differential just without any gears?

deputy2313 · 08-23-2008, 09:46 AM

yeah it is

It is the internal part that connects the two rear axles together. The "ring" of the gears bolts to it, so this would be the part that transfers power between the axles, or in the case of the V6's stock differential, one axle.

ok they are out of stock now

when will AM have more?
