I got the stockchrysler sure-grip (AKA) a limited slip and its works awsome, sucks to make U-turns but still works great off-roading. Its a cone clutch type I beileve.

Well I guess it depends on what you will be doing with your truck. Like if you offroad alot. Maybe a full locker. If you drive more street. go with a lsd. Maybe to go with the locker of you get, grab some lower gears. Give youmore torque. I have a powertrax noslip. full locker. with 3.9 gears.

im not worried about torque. i got 425 ft. lbs. i found a limited slip for 300 bucks. but one other question i have that know one seems to know is if the A500 is worth building as a hot rod automatic? does anyone know anything about these?

thanks
