So I found it on CL and couldn't pass it up. I also got ford 373's both brand new in the box. Has anyone else ran this diff or have any experience with them? Is it better or the same as a ford trac lok?
Picked up an auburn LSD today

Now from my old mustang days I remember these as "cone" clutch type posi unit and they are not rebuildable unless its the "pro" unit. There tough.

Auburn Gear (AG)
The Auburn Gear limited slip uses a cone style clutch that wears directly against the carrier case and provides the friction force to make the unit work. This design is not rebuildable. Once the cone clutch or case wears out, the entire unit must be replaced. Even with this shortcoming, this design works well for occasional use where extra traction is needed. They have good impact strength in passenger cars and trucks up to 1 ton. They will hold up well to high horse power, but will not last long if there is a lot of tire spinning.
Auburn Gear PRO (AG)
These are also cone style and not rebuildable. Designed with more lockup force than regular Auburn Gear limited slips. Will provide better high performance traction than regular Auburn Gear, but still wears out under extreme off-road use and heavy wheel spin. This design tends to chatter a lot and is not recommended if the customer is looking for a smooth unit.
