Does our front diff have a limited slip in it?

[Alan06SUT]

Or is just an open diff w/ the traction contol only to control wheelspin?

I did seach, found nothing but stuff on adding a locker.

TIA.

Phil, do you know if the front diff. needs any supplemental additive in it. Like some rears have a posi additive. I'm asking because my front end is making a harsh noise/chatter . I have looked at the ujoints in the driveshaft and looked at the front axle shafts, they feel tight. The noise/chatter/vibration is only when its criusing and not under strain. When its under power or turning the noise goes away. Maybe a wheel bearing?? or something, just looking for someones idea before i tear in to it. Thanks doug

[Alan06SUT]

If it is an open diff, then you should not add posi additive.

alan., i wasnt sure if the locker mechanism is causing the vibration and needed some jizum to lube it up.

LMAO!

We dont have lockers in the front. Onlt in the rear.

Try KY for lube! jizum's preferable for facials, etc. IMO!

oops , i thought there was something in the front diff. that controled wheel spin and helped traction?? I think i'll check the level in it . Curious what the heck is vibrating.

The t/c isnt in the diff, it uses a Bosch system that senses wheel spin and applies the brake to the spining wheel.

Sorry Fixed it!

PhilD , I am putting Eaton in the front . No need for taction control ?? they take out ttc.

Yes thats what I thought, I will see how they are doing it.

TCS/TC2 won't kick in if you locked front and rear, at least I've never seen it done so and can't think why it would, but it is still there. There are plenty of times when I'm in 4Hi that I'd like to flick a switch and turn it off though. quote:

OK I dont think I want it at all no (TCS) thanks for telling me.

[Alan06SUT]

on muddy hill climbs that darn TCS kicks in and doesnt let you spin enough, I have tried w/ the TC2, and same thing. Does it do something to the accelerator or do the brakes just make it feel like the motor is bogging down?

Also today I was in some thick, nasty mud and needed some floatation to get through parts of it and even when I slammed the gas hard, it still only spun a little.

I like the TCS when it is fairly dry, but when it gets a little slippery, I think it would be great to turn it off.

Alan 06, I think it would be great to turn it off.[/quote]
If the front is locked (after market eaton or arb air locker) and the rear axle is locked its not able work , you could run with only the front locked
TCS would work in back ??, or only the back axle locked then would the TCS work only in the front with the back locked . If you say it brakes one tire when you gas it in the mud its fighting the eng. I dont want a power robbing TCS coming on .

Alec has a nice video that shows how to turn off TC2 really quickly.
