jthorn are you talking about the 8.8 or the 7.5 tlok cuz the 8.8 is that much stronger.

 

Oops 8.8", my bad, forgot what forum I was in, but the 7.5" is still good for around 250 rwhp I believe.

 

you are dead wrong.

the 7.5 T-lok is nothing but a stock replacement part# for Bronco II's and Rangers that came with the anemic 2.9L V6 which made 120flywheel hp and was a T-lok option for them.

why do you think ford didn't use the 7.5 in the GT????? because the 7.5 T-lok is weak as hell and they didn't want to issue recalls on blown differentials on their mustangs.

the open differential or T-lok which is the same except with 2 Ssprings and clutch packs are weak as hell. the spyder gears a small ans weak with little support. they have been known to shed spyder gear teeth on stock 5spds with hard launches.


hell i have even broke 8.8 stock T-loks too with just stock 98 cobra power.

the t-lok really isn't a strong design 7.5 or 8.8.

the T-lok was never designed to handle 300rwhp. if you think they were please show me proof

 

the best way to end all of this is ....forget teh tlok and get a damn truetrac. lol

 

Exactly, because we can sit here and ponder, debate, and shoot info back and forth all day. But yes get the detroit true lock.

 

i broke my buddies in his stock mach 1 in the middle of a donut[8D]

btw do you have a link for that just cause im sick of hearing everyone it the 2005-2007 section give bullsh*t how the t-lok is the greatest thing ever and the detroit isnt worth the money

 

well exactly why i made the thread. Why spend ~$500 when you can get away with ~$200 with the Tlok. Facts are what i was lookin for.

 

good point....well put it this way. with the tlok you can get away with it sometimes but the trutrac is definatly worth it, almost bullet proof lol.

 

and plus u never know what your gonna put into your car 2 years from now so its better if u pay now rather than cry later.

 

I had the FRPP T-lok and had absolutly no problems with it. I drag raced and autocross raced. For 90-95% of the mods going on here, it's just fine. But if you go F/I, I'd recommend the true trac unit. It will cost just aboot double, but it is a much stronger unit.
