Hi all, Well, we are getting our first snow this week in Big Bear, CA and I was planning on getting a rear differential locker setup for both my 1988 1500, and 1991 1500 4wd Suburbans. They are the stock differentials.
Because of the need to go up and down the mountain, with tight twisty paved road, can't have a full locked differential, as it would be undriveable on the tight switchbacks, but need something which will engage when starting to slip in snow (or regular dirt/sand road driving).
Was thinking of a limited slip setup that can bolt into the existing differential, what would you guys recommend (budget minded). I do not want to have something that you have to go out and engage manually, rather an install-n-forget setup.
