How good is an S spring back there..........



S

 

Or should I look at something like this

 

Hey man, what yer is your Caprice? Is it a 9C1? I replaced the Diff gasket on my '96 Impala with the one for the holes to the axle tubes. Love that diff in there, heh- the love the engine too, I think I've just found a cam for that brute torque build I'm putting together.............

 

96 9C1 car with the old LT1... I hated that sack lol... needed an LS of some form because 15 flat is not fast lol.

 

Engine was great for chuggin' down the hwy. I have dreamed of a project tossing in a 6.0 but right now I gotta keep the truck together...................

 

But really guys- is either better than the other; S- spring vs the other LSD? And is the Torsen really all it's cracked up to be..............

 

I personally have no idea. After reading this thread I was thinking the regular spring loaded was the best. Before I bought one I looked on internet, found places that sell differentials, called them, told them what power my truck was making, and asked what would be the stongest. I was told by one place a detroit locker would be the stongest but I didn't want a locker. At over 800 wheel hp and torque my truck is not setting any records but it is making pretty good power. From the 5 or 6 places I called when it came to a LSD the truetrac was the only one I got any recommendations on. I bought the truetrac. The price difference between the Truetrac and spring loaded was not enough to make it a factor one way or the other.

Also I bought mine from 4 Wheel Parts and they offered a free replacement warranty if I break it so I got that too. If I break mine I'll sell the replacement and try something else.

 

Cool- how does it behave............

 

Just on street street tires it seems to work good. No more one wheel wonders around corners. My G80 always worked in a straight line so not much difference there. I feel like taking it out in a big parking lot and drifting it all over the place to get a little more used to it around corners.

 

I put in a Yukon Dura Grip Positration in my truck. Fully rebuildable and has larger bearing journals for added strength & uses heavy-duty carrier bearings & races.

Doesn't whine, used my factory 3:73 gears in it and has been running without any glitches for over a year.
