You have what's called an open differential. in order to get both tires to spin you need a t-lok or a limited slip differential (LSD) you can put one of these one your stock 7.5" rear end or you can upgrade to a GT 8.8" rear end, which really isn't any cheaper or better IMO. Upgrade your rear diff and get some bigger diff. gears and you're good to go!
if you aren't putting down serious power there is no need too. The 7.5 can take a beating.The 8.8 is much stouter than the 7.5 so if price is negligible, you want the 8.8.
If it's the same price, why wouldn't you?if you aren't putting down serious power there is no need too. The 7.5 can take a beating.
it's not always the same price, in some instances it's cheaper in other's it's more expensive. It all depends on the seller and the mileage on the axle. Obviously you wouldn't buy one that has a lot of mileage on it. So, in most instances, my guess would be it's cheaper to go the LSD route rather than upgrade to an 8.8 with 100k miles on it. Or maybe that's just me...If it's the same price, why wouldn't you?
The poster before you broke one on a stock v6...yeh...they're strong alright lolMustangman92 said:The 7.5 really isn't week unless you're putting down serious hp like middle 300s
as do the GT rear ends? what is your point? the GT 8.8 nor the v6 7.5 is indestructible.The poster before you broke one on a stock v6...yeh...they're strong alright lol
His point is that the 8.8 is stronger than the 7.5.as do the GT rear ends? what is your point? the GT 8.8 nor the v6 7.5 is indestructible.
doesn't mean it can't nor will it break.His point is that the 8.8 is stronger than the 7.5.
Obviouslydoesn't mean it can't nor will it break.
one well over 100kTo be honest id go with an 8.8...you can find used ones for cheap. Comparing the two is like apples to oranges....for the price you spend on a tlok with gears you could of bought a used 8.8...gears..and had cash left over for install
