dirtraider, I also stated that others are more knowledgable than I am, therefore warning him that my information may be incorrect. One more thing, dirtraider, just because I may not know as much as you or others do, doesn't meant I can't share my opinion. If someone asks a question I will answer with the knowledge I consider to be true. When I'm wrong (as I *know* I will be) everyone FEEL FREE to correct me. But please don't be a dickhead about it, theres no reason to talk down to others that are still learning.
How would you feel if you answered someone's question and then someone else comes in and calls you a retard (metaphorically speaking, of course) and tells you to quit talking? *Most* people would say the same thing as I just did. Its a free country, I'll post up what I think is true, if I'm wrong, so be it, correct my mistake, but don't be all pissy about it. I'm not a dickhead to anyone else on here, including you, so show some respect and don't talk down to me, eh? Help the newer people to learn this stuff properly, and maybe there'd be less incidents like this.
Now, back to Limited Slips.
The reason I said what I did about l/s is because the 8.8" on my Ranger is supposed to be Limited Slip, but it behaves absoluetly nothing like the "definition" says its supposed to. Under low traction conditions you say both tires are supposed to spin... mine don't. As far as I've ever known, this is how all Limited Slips run. Under any low traction condition, if my right-rear tire loses traction, the left tire quits spinning altogether, unless I'm rolling forward, and the right tire sits there and spins for eternity. Its been like that for ages, ever since I bought it, actually. You say L/S isn't supposed to do the One-Wheel-Peel, yet my L/S does nothing BUT the one-wheel, time for a rebuild/new rear-end then? Thanks for the corrections though, everyone. I wouldn't have been able to make the distinction between open and l/s otherwise.
