Tru Trac, 10 bolt diff advice
I need advice on my Tru Trac guys. It went out a block from my house. I heard something pop, then a louder than the motor whine from the diff. I yanked it all out and found my drivers side shim broke into 4 pieces. Everything else seems ok except some odd slag build up on the inside of the case (maybe from the shim going out) ? Does anyone have any idea how my shim could break ? The top cap bolt was not very tight (but not loose either).
RED ARROW POINTS TO SLAG BUILDUP IN CASE
Thx,

- Should I just dremel down the slag and put it back together ?
- Is there a better-stronger cap available for a chevy 10 bolt diff ?
- Is there stronger shims available ?

I beat the **** out of it almost daily, no issues what so ever and I havent seen many locker fail threads but far to many tru trac fails. that shim breaking is strange, what was your case pre load? did you have one hell of a time pounding that shim in?
