Stupid one tire fire!

[Motorhead350]

I don't know why, but lately my car has only been doing burnouts with one tire. My rear end is built with an Auburn Posi, 4:10 gears and my good driving skills. ;) When I take off too the car will only light up one skid mark. This car was giving me 2 trails as of one month ago.

Did I break something? The car isn't making any noise when I drive it and seems to be fine, but this one tire fire is really ticking me off. What is the deal? Should I return the posi? Is it toast? I'm really confused and ticked. :mad2:

Any suggestions?

I destroyed 3 Auburns with my Capri years ago.
At that time Summit stopped selling them because so many were being returned to them by customers.:(

The one wheel peel is what you get when the posi has gone south

I have heard of other auburns going south,,,

try a detroit locker

I still think it is a "loose" nut behind the wheel.....:rofl:

Your posi is toast

What do you guys suggest? What works the best? What will it cost?

I will call up Auburn tomorrow and see what to do. I asked around today and I was told it could be rebuilt for maybe $125 or I might be able to send it back.

I don't understand one thing: It says one year warranty and four year exchange, what is the difference? :confused:

In my opinion you should cut your loses and scrap the auburn.
Been there done that, wasted time thinking the next one would hold up but it never did.
I run a Track Lock by Powertrax,
It's a little noisey like a Detoit Locker but a bit cheaper.
I have gone 9.75 at 137mph with one and it's been in my car for some years now.
Just my 4.6 cts.

i had an auburn did not even last a year(i did take it back and they gave me a new unit)did not put it back in(bought a detroit locker)

Auburns were the weaker, unwanted factory posi's for a lot of V8 cars. They put metal shavings in the oil as they wear, and aren't rebuildable without getting creative with machine work. I get a kick out of people "upgrading" the factory clutch type limited slip to the cone of death Auburn rears? It's new posi time.

That's exactly what I did. :banana:
