Heh ok bud.....heres the best way to put it. In order to have any stability in a vehicle that has to put more power to the ground than whats really needed to move it(pulling heavy things, racing, etc) you need that power to go to both wheels. Thats simple physics. In most daily driver cars...for example a honda civic...the power is only being put to one tire. You're not pulling anything and if you're intelligent you're not racing with a civic.
For example.....have you ever been to the lake and seen that one dumbass that cant seem to pull his boat out of the water and hes wondering why? Its because hes doesn't have limited slip so his power is only going to one tire and hes spinning the **** out of that on the wet slope. All of his power is going to his right or left tire, yet theres alot of weight on connected to the opposite side of his truck. In effect the left side of the boat is essentially receiving 0 pulling energy from the truck so he goes nowhere.
Instead of about 250 HP going to both tires for you, its now 250 HP going to only one tire. Its only ocassionally locking out because its worn down bad. You need to re-build your
T LOCK. Its as simple as that.
Unless your a very experienced driver and you know how to get that one tire to hook it will significantly effect your 60 FT times. Get tha **** fixed!

Heh dude.....I just got done explaining this....in order for that tire to spin power is put to it when the diff locks out. This provides stable pulling power/torque. When your just cruising..yes....this is different. I thought your issue was while you were spinning....am I reading the same thread everybody else is? Your T-Lock is BROKE! Accept it!

lol at hoss
i say get 31 splines though. My friend with a bullitt was putting his 3.73's in with like 120k on his car and his axles were warped and differential was about to fall apart. and he has never been to the drag strip. just dont a bunch of burnouts over the years
