If you're having this problem when running the front diff, then tightening the front diff will give you the stability like what Julius has mentioned.

Please make sure that the front or rear diff is built correctly in the first place and make sure that they do not slip. Refer to Julius' article on building the diffs correctly.

No problems here. Mesh it slightly tighter. You should be ok.

[QUOTE=jag]I made a mistake last time out by tightening both diffs at the same time. If 0 = no collar and 10 = locked, then I had the front around 7 and the rear around 6. Does that make any sense? I didn't like it there so I went down to around 5 front and 3 rear.

Try a front diff setting of about 6 to 7 and a rear diff setting of about 2 or 3 as a relative comparison.

I suggest NOT to try this... But if you have a lot of time in your hands, you could give it a go. No promises on clutch improvement in the long run.

In Florida? I find that difficult to believe...

Who would do such a thing?
Oh, they will let you see what you need to see and doctor it for those that you need not have to see. (j/k)
