I ran a Strange 35 spline axle with 4:56 gears in my '56 T-Bird race car for years, no problem.

I've run one in the Red F code for 13-14 years, street and drags, Still working good. Don't have Vic's horsepower though!!

Charlie,
I would have thought going straight wouldn't be as hard on it as going around corners but what do I know. Now that I think about it, turning made the grabbing and snapping noises. Other then the axle gear being cracked it looks brand new inside.

I got a Truetrac a few years ago.  I hope it doesn't fail me.  I'm also not putting nearly as much power through it.  At that time, I didn't come across anything negative about it.

Brent, thanks for the info. Here's my bad luck, last December I ordered another Truetrac and installed it in my nodular 4:11 Moser figuring on getting my other one fixed for a spare or sell it. I installed a new clutch setup that slips on launch so maybe I won't hurt the new one.

Looked around for alternatives to the True-Trac. Spoke with Strange, they manufacture the Strange S-Trac which carries a Lifetime Warranty (35 spline only). They recommend the True-Trac for my 2700lb car 400hp C4 mild torque 27" tire setup. Strange sells lots of them to users and builders (lots at a time). The S-Trac is to much for my setup but for your wheel stands, maybe worth a look, Vic.

I know it’s not a true video of something we would normally not do; if you go on you tube and view a rear end movement of an IMCA modified you would never worry about alignment again. I’ve read where a u-joint can move thru 22 degrees of motion. Not say it would last long but that is the specs I’ve read. We run dirt car and have never had a problem with a good quality joint.

The guide we used to set up of my roadster was no more than a total of 5 degrees out of true. Up down, right left it all counts. My transmission output shaft is centered and the Bronco rearend is offset but it still came within specs.

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

It is about 3 or 4 years old and 2 years ago it started making a clicking noise going around corners. So this winter I thought I could send it to Eaton and have it fixed and they said they don't fix them. So I took it apart and found this gear that drives one of the axles to have almost all every tooth cracked and everything else looked great. So I call them back to plead for a gear, even a used gear and was told no way and they are usually totally ruined when they go bad. Do some googling and I'm not alone. Some of the guys are recommending the Eaton Posi because they can be rebuilt. Are you planning on drag racing or just street use. Is your car a stick or an automatic? I'm thinking an automatic would be less stressful on the Truecrap. I hit the track 4 or 5 times a year and locally around town.

Thank you for the info. I had planned to run an Eaton TrueTrac. What was the problem you encountered?
