I am trying to figure out what manufacturer made this posi gear. It looks like an Auburn from pics I have seen but it has that added "gear" on the pinion gear? Is this an Eaton? Most of the pics I see the pinion gear does not have the added gear. I assume that gear is part of the carrier and not the pinion itself. Also what does that gear drive?

Thanks

 

looks like that might be from an early 4th gen-the gear like piece is a "tone ring"-there is a magnetic pickup that is close to the teeth that creates a variable frequency impulse as the gear rotates for the speedo or ABS brakes.93-97 4th gen used the Eaton posi.

 

That's just a carrier with an ABS tone ring. Still an Auburn. Still junk.

I notice it has springs just like an eaton posi. How can you tell the difference between auburn & eaton? Is it the tapered end of the carrier case that tells them apart?

 

The cast, unmachined carrier, tapered ring gear mount, etc. It's a 4th gen 3 series Auburn - in other words - "scrap metal"

Thanks guys for the info
GD why you got to hate on other peoples junk! This Scrap metal rear came with the rest of this heap of the same. But as long as my Junk keeps this up, the mistress will be happy!
