Auburn Gear Differentials
Auburn Gear Inc. has been manufacturing performance differentials for over 40 years in the United States!
Their experience and knowledge of differentials for trucks and SUVs has led them to dominate the market.
Their unique cone-clutch mechanism is the cornerstone of their designs.
The new and improved clutch style is superior to previous limited slip designs.
Then, in 2003 Auburn Gear introduced the ECTED-Locker, which stands for Electronically Controlled Traction Enhancing Differentials. This new performance differential is a selectable limited slip or locking differential.

The highly efficient torque transfer is achieved via cone clutches coupled to beveled side gears.
As torque is transmitted through the differential side gears to the axle shafts, the side gear separating forces and spring pre-load firmly seat the cones into the differential case.
The cone design, along with the applied force, determines the torque transfer capability of the differential. All Auburn Gear differentials require a high quality non-synthetic 80W90 GL-5 gear oil.
Treat the oil with Auburn Gear, GM, or Ford additive. 3 ounces of additive per 1 quart of oil. A 6 oz. bottle of additive comes with each Auburn unit.

You can't lose with either unit, but for that extra performance edge the Pro Series Differential provides the higher bias design to put you over the top and into the winner's circle. All Auburn Gear differentials require a high-quality non-synthetic 80W90 GL-5 gear oil.
Treat the oil with Auburn Gear, GM, or Ford additive.
3 ounces of additive per 1 quart of oil.
A 6 oz. bottle of additive comes with each Auburn unit.

ECTED stands for Electronically Controlled Traction Enhancing Differentials (Pronounced "ek-ted").
It is a revolutionary product with respect to traction technology.
ECTED provides the user with a selectable limited slip or locked mode.
When "off," the ECTED functions as a performance limited slip differential for on and off-road excitement.
When "on," the ECTED becomes a Spool, which is ideal for the quarter-mile or the off-road terrain. All Auburn Gear differentials require a high quality non-synthetic 80W90 GL-5 gear oil.
Treat the oil with Auburn Gear, GM, or Ford additive.
3 ounces of additive per 1 quart of oil.
A 6 oz. bottle of additive comes with each Auburn unit.

Full Auburn Gear spools are made from 4140 steel forging that is heat-treated and precision machined in the USA.
Spools are strictly for drag-strip straight line racing use.
They are not street legal, so do not use a spool if the vehicle is street driven as it could cause broken axle shafts and other problems.
-
Auburn Gear Mini Spools offer maxinum traction at a minimal price. They are designed with a counterbore so that c-clip eliminators are not required, although they are recommended.

This Additive is recommended for use with all Auburn Gear Limited Slip Differentials to keep them operating smoothly and extend the service life. 3 ounces of additive per 1 quart of oil. A 6 oz. bottle of additive comes with each Auburn unit.
