Im just wondering if it is possible to blow up the posi so it would act like open gears. If so, what kind of symptoms would you expect to see? I was driving and nailed it around a corner, and there was a clunk, and i thought i felt only one of the tires spinning. Well, the last thing i need right now is to rebuild a rearend, so im hoping for some positive answers.
thanks,
jeff

 

A locker unit will do that around a corner. The clunk is the teeth disengaging, then 1 tire will spin.
If you have a clutch type posi, when the clutches wear out, it just acts like an open rear. I'm not sure of the cone type symptoms. If you are positive that you have a posi, and not a locker, then a clunk should worry you. I would look into it asap.
