I was just under the assumption replace what exists now, or have an open differential like some have suggessted. What's your opinion, if you were in my situation?

 

well i had a 250 with a 350TH tranny in my 75 nova. wasn't a track warrior but man I could cruise at 80 and not hear anything rattle. Nothin like cruisin by mr white collar in his toyota corrolla in your big ol metal classic.

 

U have a LSD, not a posi

 

LSD is a Limited Slip Diff , Posi means when those tires are turning all the time , another words when you make a turn the truck will want to go straight , which you gotta be careful in wet ,ice , snowie weather ....Just get an AUBURN LSD , comes with directions that you can do your self..

 

I have a posi right? Where both tires spin all the time. So don't get the Detroit? Auburn a safer call? And thank you.

 

Isn't posi-traction like the gm name for an LSD

 

to be really cheap on a open diff you can weld the spider gears , and get a posi... There is a slight difference between LSD and a Posi ... posi is full power at the rear wheels at all times... of course the LSD will only come into play if one side starts to slip , then it will add full power to both wheels..

 

lol and I thought you didn't believe in putting lockers in trucks that are street driven?

Welding the spider gears... Redneck

 

So I'm seeing somewhat of a split here. Silver_Dodge and Cereal think I should save the money and make it an open diff. PA thinks I should get the Auburn put in to replace the existing damaged posi? What do to do, what to do..

 

Does anyone have any experience with Richmond lockers? I have a buddy that had one in a ford and it seemed to work really well and for Dodges I think they run like $400??
