Worn-out Traction-Lok clutches.

Yep, what he said. You can rebuild the stock unit with a Cobra Carbon Fiber clutch pack... if the carrier and the spider gears are still in good shape. Otherwise time for an upgrade to an Eaton Trutrac.

Is this what you may be referring to? The Ford Performance Parts 8.8 in. Traction-Lok Rebuild Kits M-4700-C?

Yes sir, the only thing is the spring will not fit the Marauder. The correct one can be purchased separately. I always try to buy my kits from Tommy at Sparta Performance, he is a site sponsor and has always treated me great!

How many miles are on your car? It's going to be a safe bet your axles are probably shot and if they are, you'll need to refresh the rear end and flush everything out really good to make sure no metal is floating around inside anymore.

I have a complete trac loc from my marauder with the ring and pinion available if you are interested. Mine still had 2 wheel peel. I just upgraded to 31 spline and cobra clutches so this trac loc is a good unit. The ring gear is still attached to the carrier as well. This would be a low buck option for you if your clutches and gears are worn.

Sure it will! Just manipulate it in a vise and tweak it to your liking and hammer it on in like so many have done! There is absolutely no wrong in changing a hardened springs properties..

Correct. There is zero need to try and cram a stiffer spring in place. If it works just fine in high horse cars then..

Detroit TruTrac fan here. No more clutch pack or spider gears or worry about a pogo peel, peg leg, zip strip......
