Hello, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of my new Engineered Performance Limited Slip Differential for the GMC/Chevy front differential as found in the Sy/Ty trucks. I have been building this limited slip conversion for GM FWD cars for over 10 years. It is a well-proven design that has been tested over 600hp and run in the 11's on slicks. I already have one unit proto-typed and built.
I understand the need for a front limited slip has been debated for a long time. I can speak from a front-wheel drive perspective and say, it is a must-have! Torque steer is virtually eliminated with the EP-LSD. Both tires will drive all the time. This unit is NOT a locker and does not require any modifications to install. It is a fully functional differential with NO CHATTER, NO CLUNK OR RATCHETING. Its use will be imperceptible in normal street driven trucks. It is a direct replacement for the stock open differential. The unit uses sintered bronze clutches, cnc-machined and heat-treated pre-load plates, and an application specific pre-load spring rate. These parts and the conversion process have been used for over ten years in other GM FWD cars with NO failures of any LSD-specific parts. The unit is rebuildable, but the clutches have been tested over 100K miles in some of the earliest designs and had NO MEASUREABLE WEAR on inspection.
Please reply here if you have any questions or comments. I am happy to debate the need for such a unit, as long as it stays technical in nature. I don't waste time in "philosophical" discussions.
