Confused about the V6 rear end.

I am confused and always tought that it had power to both rear wheels until one wheel broke traction.

Am I wrong, and the V6 is Right rear wheel drive?

StupidTodd

The V6 does not have the traction lock (positraction for fords).

All the power goes to the rear passenger wheel.

I have a trac-lok on order for the 7.5 rear end (and I already have my 4.10 gears), just waiting for the trac-lok to show so I can have them installed.

Yeah I understand that, but I thought traction lock only locked in when traction was lost on one wheel and put power to the other wheel.
Under normal acceleration I find it hard to believe that its only powered by one wheel.
This would cause irratic tire wear.
Guess im stubborn to understand or accept this

StupidTodd

I was too... I couldn't believe both wheels didn't have power...

So, I backed into a mostly dead spot in my yard, and hit the gas (to find out for sure)... only 1 tire spun. I was ticked, but I ordered my trac-lok the next day.

Stoenr

ok, heres where your not understanding the question.
I know when you break tracktion only one wheel will spin.
Im talking about normal accelration. Both wheels are powered. correct? or no

Badash

where did you order the trac-lok from?

StupidTodd

I don't think they are, but I'm not %100 sure on that one....

I ordered the trac-lok from http://www.gefracing.com/ but they are backordered until the end of July

Stoenr

yes both wheels are accelerating the car under acceleration (when not peeling out).
One wheel accel would cause erratic tire wear.

one wheel powers it...if you want to know for sure lay under your car..pull the cover off the differential and see which way teh gears go...should be towards the rear passenger wheel..same as old mustangs

ChristopherCamel

one tire..two tires..doesnt matter to me how it is pushed as long as it works
