Where are you driving your trucks....keepin on the road always?

 

limited slip = yes

locker = no unless your rig sees offroad for the majority of it's life.


a limited slip will help in all traction situations

 

You can always install a mechancial locker (i.e Detroit Locker) or an electric locker in your truck. Mechanical lockers have some rather strange handling quirks on the street. The electric locker can be turned off, but it's rather expensive. Limited slip differentials can lose their effectiveness over time, especially if you don't keep your tires inflated to the same pressure or have different tires on the same axxle. There are better limited slips than Ford uses. I'm saying they're available, but I don't know that for a fact. I haven't looked into this yet. What rear axle is for using in the 4x4s? Is it the 8.8? It looks bigger than the one in my 92 Bronco.

 

4.6 engine has the 8.8 axle and smaller trans
5.4 engine has the 9.75 axle

 

Yeah, I crawled under there this morning and figured it was the 9.75 based on some info I found.

How do you like that Roush supercharger? I think I'm going to be installing one after I get a few more miles on this thing.

Sorry

 

.......


was probably the best money I've ever spent on a vehicle...getting some tunes shortly...and then it'll be even better.

 

I understand it's a well engineered kit.

 

the parts/pieces go together as intended. and it started on the first try and never had a problem since

but Roush needs to spend some time ensuring the directions are up to date...the install directions suck horribly. A novice wrencher should steer well clear
