WTB: BDS 2x4 Blower Scoop

From : randylands

Q: limited slip diffs have both good and bad points and one of the bad points can be dangerous so unless it is requested when someone orders the truck they usually dont have them. how are they dangerous maybe to a person who doesnt know how to drive than anything is dangerous 79 t/a ws6 455 hurst 4 spd blk w/ t-tops heavily fortified 4mpg 00 ram 2500hd qc v-10 4x4blk5 spd410 lsd 10mpg 98 intruder 1400 blk 5 spd 25mpg they can be dangerous when wet and/or icy conditions are present. open diffs are made so that one tire can spin freely when turning so that corners can be made without dragging the slower tire through the turn. this helps with tire life as well as the traction through the turns. im not 100% sure about about dodges setup but lsds allow one tire to rotate slightly faster than the other for cornering but only to a limited amount after that the axle locks and both wheels turn. this can make for faster launches because both rear wheels get power but when both rear tire spin on slippery surfaces the rear end swings out really easy and its difficult to control. corners have to be taken alot slower and you cant apply as much power because as soon as you start to spin the rear slides out from under you. i know many people who have traded in their lsd or posi traction vehicles for open differential vehicles because the lsd was too hard to control in the snow. these people know how to drive and they drive well they were tired of fighting their lsd vehicle every step of the way when in snow. bs if they knew how to drive they wouldnt have a problem. roy .
