Hey guys,

I found this used LS posi for my 8.8 28 spline rear end. Is this a good deal?

I'm trying to track down some kind of LS for my rear end. The rear end is off an 04 edge so I'm not running the stock 7.5 that originally came with my truck.

Thanks!

I'd skip all of that and buy a locker.

 

Why not get a lock right?

 

Well my wallet is low right now and I am really on a budget. I just want something to somewhat help my tires spin in sync when wheelin. Nothing too hardcore. All the lockers and **** are $400+

 

if thats what you want, neither of them are a bad deal i dont think. sind out what kind of mileage is on them if you can

 

How much did you pay for yours and where?

 

I know on e-bay motors there is a 15% off coupon floating around, that should help the wallet.

 

Thanks for the heads-up Tom!

 

my truck came with the trac lock stock, but i put in an auburn gear LS after it wore out, i payed around $380 for it from 4wheelparts. the trac loc units are around $200 new.

 

looks nice man... a good idea you better buy it before i do the buy it now!!!! lol jk man im lookin for one too but funds are tight

 

I might be able to afford $200, think you could help link me? I gotta stay in my budget or I'd get a locker.

lol, go for it bro. I just want to make sure I'm getting something that works and posi does wonders when it comes to an open diff.

 

lol yea i want one but idk if it is ness. i have a lsd now and i dont off road much since its my dd but id like to have one just to 1. say i have a p[osi and 2. so those few times i do go out ill have the best chances of nbot getting stuck lol... i know its jus a waste of money but still... chance favors the prepaired mind...lol

Indeed.
I hate my peg leg ranger.

 

Thanks Patrick.

This is very appetizing.

 

I can one tire fire my L/S. Just save money for a Powertrax. I'm telling you it will be worth it in the long run.

 

How much?

 

ive heard that an open and a lsd are just as useless and ive also heard a lsd is awsome... i dont have any personal experience w. then... so in your guys opinion on a scal or 1-10 and open diff being a 0 and a posi/locker being a 10... where does a lsd stand??

 

Gumby was selling a used one for cheap. New they are like $450 depending where you look.

I say LSD is 5-7 for street depending on how good it is and like 1 for offroad. If I get one rear tire off of the ground my truck stops moving. If I take a really tight corner on the street and smash on the gas my truck will one tire fire up the hill even after I straighten out.

 

Fukkkkkkkkkkkkkk, I can't afford it right now.

LSD is fine for me, seriously. Those suckers DO WORK!!!!

 

They don't really for offroading. Why do you have to get in now anyway?

 

I don't, just researching.

 

so when you swtich into 4hi or 4lo its still an lsd right??

 

Yeah. The L/S has nothing to do with what gear or 4wd mode you are in. It will act the same way all the time.
