Daryl,
What is the difference between those two diffs. - limited slip vs locker
type.
My van is in the shop right now locked in reverse. Once the
determination is made as to whether the problem is internal( inside the
tranny) or external (linkage or some other thing) I may well have an
overhaul job for you. So consideration of the alternatives is now on the
table.
Thanks,
John Rodgers
