    Duragrip Posi Differential. Stop doing those ridiculous one wheel burn outs by upgrading to a Yukon 8.8in 31 Spline Duragrip Posi Differential from AmericanMuscle. A Limited Slip Differential (LSD) sometimes referred to as a "Posi" will allow both rear wheels to plant the power to the pavement giving you better traction and more impressive burnouts.

    Heavy Duty. Featuring a case constructed from nodular iron, this Yukon Gear Duragrip Limited Slip Differential boast forged 4320 steel internals and composite clutches for dependable heavy duty performance and long life.

    Application. This 8.8" Yukon Gear Duragrip Posi Differential will fit solid axle suspensions equipped V8 Mustangs from 1986 to 2014 as well as 2011 to 2014 V6 Mustangs. Requires use of 31 spline axles. (Will not fit the 1999-2004 Cobra and 2013-2014 GT500).

    Application Note. 1986-2004 V8 Mustangs came factory equipped with 28 spline axles. All 2005 and newer V8 Mustangs come equipped with 31 spline axles.

    Technical Note. You will need to reuse your factory 8.8” gear set, or upgrade to a set of our 8.8" rear gears required for this Limited Slip Differential. No aftermarket gears are included. For normal driving conditions we recommend you use 75W 90 rear gear oil. This will give you the same oil weight as factory. For colder temps or race use try 75w 140.

    5 Top Rated Questions

    Im trying to keep the stock 4 lug, what gear kit and axles would work with this?

    • The Yukon Gear Duragrip Posi Rear Differential can use any Ford 8.8 gears. For axles, any 31 spline 4 lug foxbody length 8.8 axle will work.

    if i changed to 31 spline axles could i use this for a 05 mustang with a v6

    • This Yukon Gear Duragrip Posi Rear Differential is designed for 8.8" differentials. Since your 2005 V6 is equipped with a 7.5" differential, this would not fit properly even with the correct axles. If your vehicle is equipped with an 8.8" rear, then this would work well with 31 splined axles.

    Would this be able to fit in a 99-04 V6?

    • This differential will not fit a 99-04 V6 Mustang, as they are equipped with 7.5" differentials. To utilize this differential it would require an 8.8" differential and the associated components such as the carrier, axles, etc.

    Which weight gear oil is recommended with this differential and should I Use synthetic or non synthetic?

    • We recommend using 75w90 rear gear oil as it is the same oil weight as the factory. If you are using this in colder temperatures, we recommend switching to 75w140. Also, synthetic oil is always better than non synthetic especially for the rear gears.

    Is a Friction modifier needed? I know the OEM differentials require a friction modifier, does the Yukon need the same added to it?

    • Not if you use Royal Purple. If you use Mobile 1 or anything else, yes.

      Use non synthetic.

      AM said to use a synthetic oil but if you go on yukons web site they clearly say to use gear oil non synthetic which is what I used and it's whisper quiet and no issues yet the duragrip posi works flawlessly.

      Junk

      Got around 670 street miles and 2 trips to the track before this thing exploded. Took a bunch of pics and sent to Yukon, their support was awful. They may make great stuff for trucks but I'll never use a Yukon again. 670rwhp ProCharged E85 '13 - in just a couple months I'm buying a new diff, gear set, bearings, and paying shop labor to do this again, do yourself a favor and find another product.

      awesome product and awesome price!!!

      I broke the spider gears in my 2012 GT differential. I debated over the Yukon vs. the Eaton, but after talking with many dealers, I found that they are pretty much built with the same design. After the install, it seems to be working great with no noise or problems. I would highly recommend this product based on the fact that its an upgrade over ford traction lok without a large price difference.

      Great Product For The Price!

      i had blown my original LSD while having fun, installed this with some issue due to me but once that went away and i broke it in, phenomenal product. installed and had a solid feel of the rear end and grip!! Not to aggressive for street but aggressive enough to hold it's own!
