Is it available for the 8.8?
I thought about it, but I WANT the limited slip feature on it, not an open.
The Auburn has WAY more clutch surfaces than, for instance, a stock Ford LS, so it does not wear down as quickly. One can, if one wishes, extend it's life by applying a bias current.
Auburn has the D-REX warranty with the ECTED, which basically says that for 5 years you can send it back with about $130 and get a new one. It's almost cheaper than getting a LS rebuilt and then you can start all over again.

Of course, with boggers on his truck, he couldn't hear it anyway...

But there are a lot more options for the 8.8 over the front dana35 hybrid. If I had to do it over again I'd lock the front sooner!!

lol! Sounds good. I wasn't sure what would happen, or if somehow one axle could "influence" the other.
Well, I'm thinking seriously of "creating" a front axle for my SAS by cutting down a D44 out of a wagoneer. I'd like to keep the track width where it is and so on. I'd need to make custom axle shafts, but I could do that and get the 5x4.5 bolt pattern when I do so I can retain my wheels and so on.
I don't think there will be too many problems finding a selectable locker for a D44.

I didn't take enough pics. I DID already do a write up with notes on my axle rebuild that you can look up. I"ll be adding SOME to that perhaps later -- but I didn't document it well enough to do a "real" write up in my normal style.
