: this limited slip thingy in my truck is a JOKE cobra13 12-08-2005, 11:08 AM Finally got a light snow around here and I actually realized how much of a piece of crap this stupid locker thing is. It does decent in the mud but I guess because I keep the tires spinning. It sucks in the snow, gotta spin the crap out of the tires to get it to work. WHAT A JOKE, I need a Dana again. CHRIS mikmaze 12-08-2005, 03:50 PM Alight touch to the brakes will make the rear think it needs to lock and will do so, take an extra step but that should get your rear in line again. BMDMAX 12-08-2005, 04:55 PM You don't have a locker. Mikmaze hit the nail on the head. Apply a touch of braking to introduce some wheel speed differential and the Torsen unit will send traction to the wheel with the most traction.

That should take care of your problem. jwfab1 12-23-2005, 11:14 PM Drive with the e-brake slightly on. doug60 12-24-2005, 12:11 PM Taping the brake did nothing for me. One wheel on ice = no go. The manufacture offers several different versions of this design. I guess they picked the wrong one.:badidea: TriSum 12-27-2005, 02:06 AM I believe this rearend is a clutch type, if so you could have either shims or extra clutch plates put in to tighten up the engagement. This would be quite a bit less than switching out the diff. Just an idea. Good Luck !! nickleinonen 01-02-2006, 10:49 AM I believe this rearend is a clutch type, if so you could have either shims or extra clutch plates put in to tighten up the engagement. This would be quite a bit less than switching out the diff. Just an idea. Good Luck !! it is not clutch type at all.. there are 6 pinion gears that have a helical cut on them. [3 on left side gear, 3 on right side gear]... When one wheel begins to spin the pinion gears (2) on that side, are forced toward the pinion brake shoes (1). The pinion brake shoes then cause frictional drag on the opposite pinion gears and the side gear. These friction forces transfer the power to the opposite wheel. Once the frictional forces are overcome, differentiation will occur. The torque will be continually biased by the frictional forces to the high traction wheel. and mine works quite well i think... | ||
