Part of me thinks since TFS was aiming at the more normal size FE that it may not be bad. But with no examples I am starting to lean towards trying to find or trade the TW for a BT instead. It is hard to beat the look of a TW but don’t want a lot of fuss.

The comments were mixed, some said they had no problems (so far) and others said they destroyed theirs and one person said he destroyed his Moser Wavetrac as well. One guy posted a pic of the worm gears in his after pulling it apart. It was in a #3700 car with a 6 speed and 700hp. It made me rethink running mine and I may swap back to a Detroit Locker. I am not running that kind of power but I will be in a #4300 car. I just don't want to be sitting in the pits at Port Allen, La with a rear end full of destroyed worm gears.

I installed the Eaton Tru-Trac in my '68 F250, had to change the axles from 16 spline to 30 spine. Not many miles on it at this point but I have no complaints- very smooth, quiet.
36" 900-16's, 4:10, C6, 450ci 427.

I'm glad you finally figured it out.

That was 13 1/2 lb air pressure, I’m going to move it up a little at a time until it starts spinning. The Cal-Tracs are currently set with no load on driver side and 1/4 turn on passenger side with the shocks set in the middle.
