I thought they were one in the same?
Anywho, I would also like to know about this, for my '98, which I guess has a 7-1/2" ten bolt...

Re: Make my7.5 POSI
aight, well I found out that Posi-trac is just a GM name for LSD, and that it works because there is a clutch inside the pumpkin. Your rear wheels spin independent of eachother because it makes for good handling, but under heavy acceleration, the clutch engages, and the rear wheels are locked to each other(for drifting!).
I still don't know what has to be done, whether you can swap internal parts, or if you gotta get the whole pumpkin replaced

You cant do it cheap. If you try, you will end up replacing the rear again and again. I had a friend that welded his spider gears together and that lasted forever, he went 12.90s constantly. Just a suggestion. To do it the right way, id say go with a bolt in 9 inch

Hey thx a lot i knew there was a cheap way but if i went with the bolt in Nine Inch how much do they cost and is it easy to find a 26 spline one to match the axles on the truck... Thx again.

A 9 inch will cost around 1300.00 another kinda cheap way is you can find a 10 bolt from a 69 thru 73 nova and have it cut down, it is a 8 1/2 ring gear and if you can find 94 or up s10 axles they will fit directly in and the are pretty strong, 28 spline. As far as a posi, the spider gears are the weakest link. I would sugg getting a mini spool, or welded spiders. It makes noise around corners, but you always have posi. Thats the setup i have in my 95, 8 1/2 10 bolt with 4:10s and a mini spool
