For those who wish a bit more traction when off-roading or in slippery stuff. Weddle Eng. sells LockRite auto-locking rear diffs for buses, 1968-1991 for IRS bus or vanagons. 2 models, #1310/1311, for 2 or 4 spider gears (4 is stronger than two) price was $311/$345 (or jobbers prices $264/$293). I think the install costs about the same again. For those with decomposing trannys this would be a nice timely upgrade. Weddles # 310-598-2731, Long Beach, CA.
