re: torsen dana 35 lsd
i got this email from torsen today .... We plan on launching a Torsen for the Dana 30 and 35 axles sometime in the November to December timeframe! We do not have a price yet but you should be able to check our website in a few weeks for updates and news on the launch. We initially plan on launching an online shopping cart for the release.
Thanks for the question and interest in Torsen!

just curious why do you guys want a l.s front. wont it do the same thing the back does with a l.s? if you put to much weight on it it wont work? you know what im talking about? say you pull a front tire off the ground wouldnt you rather have a locker?

Aussie locker.....though it's rumored to be out of production now.
I drive the truck on the street...it's my daily. I've had spooled front and spooled rear before....not fun. I don't want the added pain in the *** with a locker. You know the advantage from going open rear to LS rear? You know the advantage to adding a front open axle to that? imagine adding a LS ontop of that. I simply do not need a front locker for what I do. But I want power to more than just 1 wheel up front as seen in the video below...I want more pull up front and the ability to steer it where I want to, again, as seen in the video. But without the hassle of a lockright/aussie/detroit style locker and having less impact on the CV shafts when I do get rough on it. I have one in the back and certainly don't want two of those things. Plus...how often do you really think an IFS rig has a front wheel off the ground?
You can see on the front, the power being transfered to one side at a time. Then later, you'll see me unable to get onto the street because of the one tire tire + not being able to steer or power up to the road and also when backing up. With an LS, it would help tremendously. A locker would help more, but I dont wanna deal with the side effects. **** won't unlock without a front shaft and if I snap a CV, I can't really drive the thing.

^^^ i guess after i posted i thought about it more for you guys since you do have hubs. so you cant just unlock one. but i get what your saying Shane i am worried about having a locked front end running in the snow on the streets. i have heard terrible things about them. yes when i put the l/s in the rear of my truck wow what a difference.

IF the quaife diff is for real it is WAY too much money for a limited slip. Hopefully torsen actually starts selling the front limited slip, and for a decent price. They have been saying they were going to start selling the diff for so many years.

The Quaife price is retarded. $1,695 for peg leg in some situations. I agree with Shane on the Torsen price. Any more and its not worth it. Also it doesn't say a year so technically it could be only for the older Explorers unless you got conformation from the company.
I know I've seen them on ebay though. I've had a standing ebay search for that kind of stuff for the past three years.
Edit: I haven't personally checked on the Aussie Locker though. Waiting to hear back from their tech department.
