Shattered the Auburn Pro differential last night. - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Tomcat427 · 05-13-2004, 06:16 PM

At this time I am waiting on Auburn to see if they are going to replace it with another Auburn Pro or if I am going to get a new model that is built with better internals.

I have one in the box ready to install. I hope I made the right move going with the Alburn Pro.

Roush380R · 05-13-2004, 10:08 PM

I thought they were almost indestructable........that sux. Good luck and I hope they help figure out what caused the failure.

auburn pro diffs are widely known as not a good idea for drag racing with sticky tires and will not last!

Two words... Detroit Locker!!! You'll thank me later.

LOL, or something else.:LAUGH:

If I get the new Auburn with the stronger gears I will try it. It will not cost me anything but time if it fails. If it does fail I will go to the eaton.:THUMBSUP:

Thanks Jeff.

the eatons will grenade as well! The locker is about as strong of a diff as you can get without going to a spool!

Chaucer · 05-18-2004, 12:04 PM

I havent heard of anybody grenading a eaton... not saying it cant be done, just havent heard of anybody.

408coupe · 05-18-2004, 10:43 PM

I know 2 guys that had a 97 and a 98 cobra with 410-4.56 gears launching on slicks that grenaded the eaton posi's on the FIRST night they ran their cars! One in Ohio and one in Va.
