mines an open diff, can i buy an lsd and get it installed? (trannys a non lsd)

not meanin to steal thread, but since we are on the topic, thought id throw it out there, ad i know the answer is gunna probably be yes.

 

my unce recommended this shop to me...they are very good and very reasonable (plus He does welding work for them sometimes)....I bought the yukon master bearing install kit but not including that he said about $650 plus tax with 5-5 1/2 hrs labor....after going to the dealership and ordering everything....

 

I'm finding this out as I'm reading about them but I'm strapped and lockers are pricey so I'm having it rebuilt....
This explains the slight hopping I was sometimes experiencing in turns....(kinda felt like I was in four wheel when turning at slow speeds sometimes)

 

Well can't you just get a new install kit?

 

Just one little thing to keep in the back of your head since you are getting it rebuilt.

Don't let any tech ever ever ever tell you that AM gears and parts should whine. That signifies an issue, and they are too lazy to fix it. Usually the lash is out of whack.

 

are you serious? im having that now ever since i jumped a curb theother night. doesnt do it all te time. but it was your LSD, and i dont have an LSD, mine must be a front end part, but now you have me worried.

 

Are you sure you don't have a lsd back there?

 

ditto? I didnt know I had it till two weeks ago.... its sometimes called a posi rear too.... although an LSD is not a true posi..

 

Pull the cover and start looking for pieces parts.

 

i changed the rear diff fluid yesterday lol...there was no shavings on the magnet. fluid was quite clean. (4.10 gears were installed at 163K, truck has 195K now)
Gears are not chewed nor have any out of the ordinary wear marks.

and when i peel out in sand/pavement, its one tire...very faint on the other tire. Pass. side is the constant moving tire.
when tranny was replaced i think it was non-lsd
