LSD or no LSD

patbhoy · 29-03-2010, 16:06

Having bought my truck a couple of months ago I'm slowly getting thru a few jobs needing done.
So far I've replaced all the brake pipes, next on my list is new front shocks and track rod ends, whilst I have it up on the ramp I thought it would be a good idea to change all my transmission fluids.
What I am not sure of, does my truck have a limited slip diff or not as I notice that different oils are required depending on wether you have it or not.

You need to check - look for the sticker on diff pan - different spec trolls come with different diffs, but if you have a button for rear diff lock then you can't have an LSD.

I've got the diff lock switch, so no lsd then (i'll just need to find another way to get high

).
Thanks guys

Is it a rear diff lock or a centre diff lock - you probably have both.

I'll need to check but i think the switch is two way and can be turned either way to select whatever?

Forget what i said earlier, the diff lock switch selects either on or off.
I'm on the nightshift so was'nt thinking straight earlier.
