7.5 trac-lok clutches

Anybody got a good source for these?
I checked my usual vendors and it seems these are becoming scarce, and those that do offer them want more than I'd like to pay for the kit. :punchballs:

Truck doesn't make enough power to justify the extra weight/drag/cost. If I cannot find a kit for the price I wanna pay, I will just re-shim mine for now.

I now wish I had as well! :punchballs:

Its not a mission critical situation, so I will probly just open it up and shim the hell outta whats in there, but if I'm gonna have it open I figured I'd just replace em if I could find em cheap.

Get a truetrac and be done with it once it DOES become mission critical.

OK, you win. I got a free, disc brake equipped, 31sp l/s, explorer 8.8 that will be going in the truck as soon as I swap out the broken 5.13 gearset.
