I fried my t2r last year, I went with a true track.
I fried my t2r last year, I went with a true track.
I ran the Auburn Racer's diff for a couple seasons and it was good at first but the clutches wore quickly and needed a rebuild after 4-5 weekends. Got tired of that so I switched to the Detroit Tru-Trac the last couple years and am pretty happy with it. Same behavior with the way the car turns in and puts power down but without the wear issues.

I'd go Eaton Posi if I had a 10 bolt. My T2R has been reliable in the 8.8, I also have the boss 302r version which I heard is more durable to meet ford's requirements.
Is there a trend that Torsen T2R diffs are blowing up in the Camaros or have there been failures in the Mustangs as well? I hope it is a Camaro/torque arm/axle hop issue as I just installed a T2R in my Mustang with a poor man's 3 link.

Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.
I scoured the interwebs about T2R failures before buying my lightly used unit in 2012.
T2Rs originally were fine, *something* changed in the mid 2000s which is when the failures started, then they fixed something by the late 2000s, and no more failures. No one knows what changed (and changed again) and Torsen never publicly acknowledged what happened.
I haven't broken mine yet; had a close call with the ring gear bolts issue at Hallett but that wasn't the T2R's fault.
Mine was built in the early 2000s so no durability complaints here. Just wanna see what's what today.
Eaton in Misty's 10-bolt lasted for YEARS even behind 400rwhp. Only car I know of that never lost a 10 bolt. Currently running an Eaton Wavetrac (think Torsen but still works with a wheel off the ground). LOVE IT!
Ah, fugg it.
