Help Me Chose a Differential

Felix 808

Negative, American Vernon Gleasman would have that patent as they invented the technology. There are a few other diff companies that have used this technology True-Trac, Eaton, Qualife to name a few

$1200 sounds much better than the quote I got from my dealership. Also by solving problems of the quaife are people talking about the loss of traction when one wheel comes off the ground or are there other issues that it solves as well?

Well after a lot of deliberation I decided on the Quaife and its in the mail now. I almost chose the wavetrac but decided against it when I saw that I would need 2 shafts ($140 each) in addition to the higher price of the differential itself. I'll post up a review in a few weeks once I get it installed and have some seat time with it.

you definitely dont need 2 shafts. you dont even need a single new shaft. you can use your stock shaft and have it machined an inch off and it'll work just as well. your loss! i only know because i believe i'm the first person that pieced together a wavetrac on the boards

Hmm, I'm not doubting you about that but why does the wavtrac website list them as required parts? Annoying, but I'm sure the Quaife is going to be hell of a lot better than the open diff I've got now...

ah didnt know you had an open diff. in that case, you would need to machine both your stock stubs

here's the post (definitive differential thread) for anyone who needs help in the future where i posted the differences
