I'm not trying to be a dick, but I probably will be in your eyes, but instead of hijacking my thread and giving me links to look at, start your own topic about "posi" or surf wikipedia about "posi" which is an lsd in the first place.

You're missing the point of what I said. Lsd, asd, trac loc, posi, whatever you want to call it, are essentially referring to the same thing. Yes there different types, but some of the terminology is based off of what the manufacturer calls it, hence my reference to "posi" which refers to GM's name for it, "positraction. Ford calls it Trac-Lok, and I think chysler was calling it anti-spin differential.

i understand what your saying but just because GM call is positraction dosent mean they own that right to that name, they just use the more "known" terminology, as ford and may call it traclock, and chrysler calls it anti spin, its just what they happen to call it, and "anti-spin" isnt even a name for chrysler its just what they refer to their LSD as....

I'm going to use your own Wiki page against you varner lol.
A quote from the link you posted
Alfa Romeo: Q2
American Motors: Twin-Grip
Buick: Positive Traction
Chevrolet/GMC trucks (after 1973): Gov-Lock and Positraction
Chrysler: Sure Grip
Dana Corporation:Trak-Lok or Powr-Lok
Ferrari: E-Diff
Fiat: Viscodrive
Ford: Equa-Lock and Traction-Lok
International: Trak-Lok or Powr-Lok
Jeep: Trac-Lok (clutch-type mechanical), Tru-Lok (gear-type mechanical), and Vari-Lok (gerotor pump)
Oldsmobile: Anti-Spin
Pontiac: Safe-T-Track
Porsche: PSD (electro-hydraulic mechanical)
Saab: Saab XWD eLSD
Studebaker-Packard Corporation: Twin Traction
TVR: Hydratrak
To continue this segway for just one more moment, when I hear posi or positraction, I can only see someone like my father and grandpa saying it. It's an old "term." On that note, I hear it most often referred to as Limited Slip or LSD in forums now days.
One more deferment from the OP to answer your question Varner, my truck was built with an open differential. Many of them were built with the trac-loc LSD. I'm glad to have my Auburn now, as with an open differential, uphill right turns on wet days were very "one wheel happy" and now I can't break free when I'm trying, especially with the new tires!
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread: Dealer flashing.
Personally, I wouldn't want the dealer to flash me. Most the employees are men, and even if I did swing that way, they're usually not that good looking..

Yeah that's what I think I'm going to do. Seems to be the best option, but I may regear it as well.

never said they can change them just saying they can check them and make sure everything is were it should be, WORST case senario, he pays 52.50 but if nothings wrong then in most states the CAN not charge...
