2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dana 70 Limited Slip Clutch Pack help?!?

[motobret]

I have 57,000 milles on my '99 and it appears that I will be needing to replace the clutch pack on my differential. I did my aprx 15,000 mile gear lube change and it was black, ton's of goop on dipstick & drain plug (mag hytec). It had been shuddering on slow corners when pulling, now it does it under all loads(added over 12 oz of modifier). I need to know where to purchase the clutch packs, did a search and couldn't find much on the 'net'. Also, if there are any ideas out there as to failure causes or preventitive items that would preclude another early failure, I'm open to suggestions. Finally, some specs ... . auto trans, 3. 54 gears, 275 injectors, EZ Edge on 3, Highway towing 8000 lbs 75% of time,baby it the rest. Thanx!! Brett

I'm sure the dealers can get the clutch packs. Maybe NAPA too.

I'd guess that running too little additive is real hard on the clutches. As is going around corners while adding power.

Other than that there are too many variables.

consideration

before replacing limited slip and incurring that cost, You might consider a Detroit locker for the D70 for comparable outlay of cash. Actually modeslly priced on ebay, since the D70 is not in as much demand as a Dana 60 or 44.

Thanks, I will look into that also.

There is a Dodge Power Loc rebuild kit on the bottom of this page for $84 including shipping. FWIW - I have dealt with the folks at Quad 4x4 and they are very helpful and I would not hesitate to purchase something from them again.
