Cone Sure Grip ID?
I've got a couple of Sure Grip units which are both cone type...
The logo here might help with one of them: Marked 'Canada' and '1987' could also be a clue. If anyone can help me to identify these I'd certainly appreciate the help. |

The unit on the left is a factory cone-type, the one on the right is an Auburn Pro-Series differential.

Thanks, John...
Is there anything I should know about the differences between them? My understanding is, and it could be wrong of course, that the Auburn units were made to the Borg-Warner patents or design philosophies or techniques. Are they at all inferior or superior? they certainly dismantle differently. |

Now we get to see the sure-grips so deftly snatched from our shores and spirited away to the underside of the world. I had visions of Ray on the boat dismantling and modifying the things.

Thanks John... are the supposed to have the thrust block in the middle?

Just in case you thought I haven't have much success, here's a few I lined up the other day to compare them: No, I didn't touch them on the boat, in fact all of these came here before I went over there. The Dana 60 unit on the left is for my ambulance I plan to turn into a camper. |

I don't think they had the thrust block, intended to be used with Green axle bearings.

Thanks John...
The one I have doesn't have a thrust block, the reason for my question. I guess I'll work it out whether or not one can be fitted. |

Ray,
You got me thinking about rear ends with those great pics. I haven't set one up since the early '70's and never touched a sure-grip or a posi. So, out of curiosity, I checked my fsm, in which it states firmly that one doesn't touch these things. How stupid do they think we are? |

About as stupid as the Mazda 626 manual...
It tells you that a proper workshop is needed to dismantle and reassemble the front wheel bearings. And gives no clues on how they should do it! |
