Re: it's snowing
You know the weather people say that it is supposed to snow this weekend. So maybe get another chance to get your syncros out.
Re: it's snowing
Well, its the Gary Peloquin one, just that GoWesty are sole distributer. It's a Torque Biasing Diff really..
Won the lottery then lately, must have missed that..
Is it fully lockable too

Did a little swapsey with Lucas at GW for an auto final drive R&P. Otherwise yea $1400 is a bit steep... No it doesnt lock. My Syncro one does though

Re: it's snowing
Ah, I seem to remember that he was possibly going to offer full lockability to some of the Peloquin diffs.
Peloquin a very good addition to your m-van, obviously
Syncro locking, as you probably know, once sorted properly, seems to be fine, when used occasionally. My rear not used since October, took a few minutes to decide to work in the freezing weather on Sunday, now its happily popping in and out in seconds. Front can be a more problematic pig of a thing, once it's been left to seize up

Fortunately the front is working (after I worked out how to engage it
Might have a crack at freeing up the rear when it warms up a bit.

I just email Gary on that and he said it wasn't feisable... On the auto at least.HarryMann wrote:I seem to remember that he was possibly going to offer full lockability to some of the Peloquin diffs.

Not splitting hairs but it's a torque biasing diff; slightly different. Have a read:syncropaddy wrote:Fancy one of those LSD's in the front diff ...... Wonder how it would be?
Explaination
It's be a pretty expensive upgrade assuming it even fits in the Syncro diffs, and not sure how much one would gain, considering ours fully lock.

Re: it's snowing
Yeah I read that before but have not heard of anyone putting one in the front diff. Im thinking about it for 'the project'. I have a front locker in the Multivan but have never had to use it. Just wondering what the driveability is

Massive improvement over the stock open diff in the snow.
Do you know if it fits in either front or rear Syncro diff?

Re: it's snowing
So I guess it's pointless if you have a front diff lock? Or will still add drivability if fitted front and rear?
