How A Differential Works

That's all well and good until one wheel starts slipping then you are fucked. Find a video that explains how a limited slip diff works and then you might interest me

Posi

I know what it is called.

[kurnlesbiskuits]

I thought "posi" is just a chevy-branding of limited slip?

Forget posi/limited slip.

Lift a tire - or even unload it by more than about 30-50% of the normal weight it carries, they are as USELESS as an open diff.

Oh and make mine a 35 spline for a 60. :)

I thought limited slip = one tire breaks loose & posi = both tires?

Don't know the science of it, just know what does what kinda burnouts. :fyi:

You do not have a Detroit locker.

posi=limitedslip=traclock=blah blah

All some form of anti-slip device under different brand names.

They generally have a friction based clutch system in them which detects when one of the two tires on the axle overspeeds. When this occurs, the clutch engages in an attempt to apply power to the tire which has more traction.

In scenarios where traction really matters, these suck.

They also have gear based limited slips which have a series of conical gears. These only suck slightly less.

About the only place a limited slip really helps much more than an open diff is on a slick boat ramp where the two tires on an axle have similar traction.

Take that on the road and tell me how long it lasts.

Lasts? Are you talking about the diff? Or the tires?

[Bender]

both. Take a locked diff on the road and neither will last long enough to warrant it. It will also be slower around the turns.

You are correct that tire wear will increase.

if you drive around with it locked it will definitely wear and not last long.

[atoz350]

Yes, a posi is almost a fully welded diff. Both tires spin at the same rate. I have one custom made for my '96 Maxima.

An LSD is a different beast. It usually only does a 75%-25% split. Some good ones will do 60%-40%.

As stated before, posi is the same as LSD. A LSD will allow for a certain difference in movement between the two wheels before automatically locking. In other words, it allows a limited amount of wheel slip before it goes into a locked situation and powers both wheels.

Drive around with it "locked"? As if there is a selector? Its apparent you do not know what you are talking about.

I'll just respond with 'uncorrect', and be satisfied knowing how awesome I am.

You'e right. I was actually looking at the differences between a 1-way, 1.5 way, and a 2-way. The one on the Maxima was a 2-way. It may have not been ideal for street use, but it gave a solid feel when decelerating.

Bad video to show capabilities. Better demonstration if they cross some sort of deep ditch at a 45 degree angle - such that the weight unloads from alternating tires.

I love my Fords. My Gpa has an '08 F250, GMC 2500 and just bought an '04 Chevy 1500 4x4 both are for work. I have to say, That fucking 5.3L in the 1500 has 30 mph punch the 5.4L in my F150 will never have.
