My friend has a 1990 Ranger with the 7.5" rear axle. We recently grabbed and installed another 7.5" axle from a 1990 ranger that had a Trac-loc in it from the junk yard. He wanted a little more traction as it's his winter driver. He even got bigger rear brakes and some 3:73 gears in the deal. We changed the fluid with some Castrol 80w-90 for LS rear ends. The truck drove fine on the test drive and got my friend home but now he says it's starting to make grinding noises. I plan on adding a bottle of LS additive even though I thought the Castrol already had some, the Royal Purple I put in my mustang did and I haven't had any issues. If the Trac-loc needs to be rebuilt, will I need to do anything special regarding the carrier installation? I assume if I retorque everything and use the same shims in the same spaces it should be fine. Normally he would have had a shop install a new LS device but his wife in interning right now and money is tight.
