It was back in the late '90s but the local rear-end shop knew Tigers and pu=
t some kind of
clutch type posi in my rear for very few $$.  Like pointed out, most 4x4s u=
se a Dana 44 for the
front axle.  MIne started making bad noises after a few days but Tom Hall t=
old me I needed the
smelly Ford additive, that fixed it right up.
What type do you think they put in mine?=20
