Default Possible to blow posi?

Dunno who remembers i started a thread when I blew my stock diff and replaced it with an ebay posi with 4.10...
now it does a peg leg. only a week or so after i got it all running. is it possible i blew something making it posi and bringing it back to an open rear?

did you get a clutch rebuild pack for the ebay posi? because there was probably a reason it was on ebay to begin with

i'm sure that guy does at little as possible with the posi's so he can make the most money he can. you probably should have gotten a clutch rebuild kit before you threw it in. It's sucky, but i think you got a crappy posi. thats the risk you take with eBay though, hopefully you can get it fixed without denting the wallet too much worse.

you dont need to relash it just from pulling the posi to install new clutch packs. My guess is while he does inspect them he doesnt rebuild them and thus the clutchs are worn.
