Thoughts on Nitro Worm Gear LSD?

Is anyone running the nitro worm gear LSD ? Where I live with serious ice & snow a limited slip would be the best option for my daily driver … !

 

I have to admit, I clicked on this thread out of curiosity, and before I did, Limited Slip Differential was not anywhere close to what I thought I would find......

 

LSD

 

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

 

to get back on topic!!! i have been wanting a true LSD in my 2016 2WD for a long time. have not been able to find much after market on it. will be watching this thread.

 

Yep..I'm with the many who clicked on this thinking something different was going to pop up

 

Wonder if you could even get it to work without messing with the factory computer simulated LSD.

 

I have a switch in mine to turn the auto lsd on … can't forsee any issue .

 

Ahhh... nice thread title change...

NOT

 

Detroit TrueTrac is tried and true to be a great LSD that works very well

 

I’m unfamiliar with that product but the Detroit Truetrac is long considered to be the tried and true best LSD on the market using a Torsen design instead of clutches. I’ve run 3 of them in my Toyota’s and wI’ll soon remove my locker to install my next one.

 

I haven't found a Truetrac for the 3rd gen auto …

 

good point..is time for Power Nation "trucks" to do a show with a 3rd gen tacoma and maybe install one. could also talk about the tranny issues.

 

They are available for the 05-15 8.4, but not the locker diffs. I wonder what the difference is between 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen 8.4 that would make them incompatible. I would initially think ring gear size is too small but 2nd Gen is 3.73 and 3rd Gen is 3.91. Could possibly swap the diff from a 2nd Gen if the axle tubes are the same. I’m swapping my 3rd only for my truetrac install.

 

I don't recall there being an 8.4" for the 3rd Gen, I thought it was only 8" or 8.75".

 

The 2nd Gen TRD OR/Pro 8” was beefed up to 8.75” for 3rd Gen. The 8.4” carried over from 2nd Gen.

 

Is there a link? What ratios are available?

 

I believe that is incorrect, everything I am finding for the 3rd Gen says the BD20 8" is the carryover rear, and the other available rear is the BD22A 8.75", with the 8.4" not being available on 3rd Gen.
