Can Trac-Lock be added aftermarket in a 2004 TJ w/ Dana 44 and a 3.73 ratio?
Thanks for any input!

80' CJ-7 258 CID 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, Dana 30 Front. SOA 4.56 Gears, LockRight F&R Dana 300 w/4:1 & Currie twin sticks Warn X8000i w/ dual batteriesYou might already have one.
Yes it can be added but you'd be FAR better off by going with the gear-based Truetrac limited slip differential for the same cost as what a Jeep dealer would charge to install the clutch-based Tracloc... which needs to be rebuilt periodically and takes an additive in th gear lube to make it work properly. The Truetrac (Detroit Truetrac) has no clutches to wear out and is far stronger and much more positive acting with regards to its limited slip abilities.

Jerry's right but you can get a Trashlock for the Dana 35 or Dana 44 from

for about $200. (That doesn't include installation.) The Trashlock for the Dana 30 used on the front is almost $500 though. I don't know the reason for the price difference. Do you have some Truetrac prices handy?
