Differential shop in Stoon

My truck was ordered from factory with no limited slip. I am looking to install something like a Detroit Truetrac, does anyone know who would do this in Stoon?

I phoned Marv`s Place Auto Repair and they do that type of work. I don`t know anything about them so you`ll have to sound them out. 652-6278, 411 22nd St W.

There are actually a few shops that specialize in this in saskatoon. I checked the yellow pages, and I personally would recommend talking to someone that specializes in drive line work, over a general auto shop.

There are alot of tricks and whatnot that the specialists know.

I have went to a shop on 22nd street and avenue b, and to a place on 8th street extreme something? I can get numbers if you dont find anything in the yellow pages. Both places did good enough work that the problems I had fixed, never returned yet!

I have done work at Xtreme transmission before. I asked Chris about the Detroit Truetrac and he was not familiar with it and was going to look into it for me. From forum discussions it seems like the cats meow.
The DRW F350 uses a Dana rear end and the LS is bulletproof and works (there were lots of 4-row Michelin tracks left behind mine!). The SRW trucks use a Ford differential and there are many who complain of the performance of the factory LS unit.

if the SD limited system is anything like the one in my f150, it downright sucks. sometimes it hooks up, sometimes it don't. i've heard that adding some friction modifier is supposed to help. i've got warranty so i'll get it looked at sometime...

thats about the only complaint that i have with this truck.

Yeah the factory LS isnt very good.

Very common "mod" to beef it up though.
