Anyone Install a Locker?

[Habbibie]

Hmmm.... What a coincidence

 

[Darwin]

sounds like the best option would be to swap in the lsd from the 3.73? is it as simple as that? and all 3.73 have lsd?

 

[Habbibie]

No it's not as simple as you think, what gear ratio do you have? Remember on my first response I mentioned if you get an LSD make sure it's the same gear ratio as your current one... yea if you change the gear ratio you'll run into to a couple problems... most are small unless you have a 4x4 expedition then you'll have a bigger problem, the front diff will have to match the rear diffs ratio otherwise if you use 4x4 you'll blow something up..... quickly too.

OP your expy is 2WD I’m guessing correct? Otherwise I don’t really see the need for the limited slip in your given situation IMHO. The factory torque management/ braking bias works very well with this 4WD system to keep things rolling. That being said the limited slip can come in handy especially on a RWD variant. Also less hassle to swap gear ratios with a RWD. Like Habbibie said you need to make sure everything matches or issues will arise.

WTF! Of course I faked this:





Just so I could lie about having a 3.73 Limited Slip.

Go F yourself!

Darn Habbibie, looks like someone earned themselves a nice 3.73 open diff from the local pick and pull that day.



Hope everyone involved was O.K.

 

[Habbibie]

My wife always told me I bring out the "best" in people lol

No hard feelings though, some people just can't handle dark humor

 

[LokiWolf]

H, My wife could have been seriously hurt in that accident, but luckily the Expedition is a safe vehicle and she literally walked away with some bruises and sore muscles. She still doesn’t like driving through that intersection.

So yeah, implying I am not telling the truth by covering up with a story about our 15 being totaled does REALLY piss me off. That isn’t “Dark”, that is just crap. You can edit your reply and try to play it off as humor, but it is crap.

Have a great evening...

 

[Habbibie]

That was actually good humor, reading back the pages it's funny to read up until I touched a soft part in you that resorted to you responding like a child!

AND

yet still You still cant prove how your 2015 expedition was the unicorn of all expeditions made that year, 99% of people who buy these cars don't even know their paint code let alone how to decode a door sticker to an LSD, all the documanted evedince point against you, nobody told you to emphasize repeatedly about how your truck had an lsd but trying to walk tall like you did, well you should've brought your A game with it too but until then.... your best bet is to ****!

Good day to you too buddy....

Wow. I thought I left this behind when I left the VW, Jeep, Cummins and Powerstroke.org forums...

 

[JCP2018]

Pretty sure All Ecoboost ELs have limited slips with 3.73s.

Not true for all. I have an early production 17 with axle code 15 (3.31 open diff). Being a prior rental it doesn't surprise me.

See what happens when you get a bunch of type A versus B personalities together, they just can't play together. Theirs always going to be banter and the occasional ruffling of feathers here. Habbibie and I are pushing 4 years on the forum, and have seen and been involved in more than 1 incident. Loki wolf, he didn't mean anything by it, he, like me wondered if none of a particular item was made, how'd you get your mitts on one? Henry just has a more direct way of asking. In the words of Rodney King, can we all just get along?

Yep, just like how my expy came from the factory equipped with the optional front and rear Detroit Lockers. I said it so it’s true.

Good points on getting along Moose.......sometimes people make it hard.....VERY.

Yeah, like your comment above.

So here is the interesting stuff.

I think I have proven on here, that I know what I am talking about. Not a rookie, been working on cars since I was kid. Lifted, Lowered, raced stock cars, sports cars, and open wheel. Not a formally trained mechanic, but have done a lot of wrenching.

When I first got our 2015, I thought I had been screwed by the dealer after we got it when I also saw that no 15 EL’s came with LS. I even created a thread or post similar to this one asking how easy to switch to an LS rear. Took it back to the Dealer and pitched a fit. Service manager looked at Door code, and confirmed LS, showed me. We also got under the Rear and looked at axle code, it was indeed the LS3.73. Saw it with my own eyes. Also, while the VIN and searching showed it as an EL, it had a Max badge on it. It was originally a Canadian Expedition, because they used the Max name instead of EL. That might be part of it.

Several times the LS came in to play while I owned it. It worked.

At no point during this process did I think, “I need to take a picture of this so I can prove it to a troll on the internet 2 years from now after it is totaled in a wreck...”

Moving on.

 

[Habbibie]

Yeah, like your comment above.

Why r u so hostile about everything? You chimed in this thread puffing your chest bragging about how you've had an lsd, and insisted upon it too.... repeatedly. The evidence weren't in your favor and asking a question to present us with something beside the air pumped in your chest gets us a completely irrelevant set of pics and a flying bird... it didn't help your situation in anyway but you trying to get sympathy as a distraction is absolutely pathetic. It's ok the point has been proven... its your word vs the everyone's, and everyone came prepared except you.

I do finally agree with you one thing you said on this thread... the last two words of the post directly above mine, it's best we do that.

I wasn’t puffing my chest, just stating fact. Why do I need to prove it? I have a proven track record of being accurate. Why not believe me on this particular item. I have ZERO reason to lie about it.

I was not hostile until you and 07 started basically calling me a liar and saying I fabricated the totaling to further that lie. Yes, I took that VERY personally. Wouldn’t you?

Do they make Eton TruTrac for our Expeditions? I put one in my Mustang. It is by far the best upgrade.

^ I have 2 in my Explorer. If I ever regear my Expedition, I'll put one in the rear. The factory limited slip has long since given up its ability to limit any slip.

I’ve heard the factory limited slips don’t last very long. Locker is always fun in a nice empty snowy parking lot...........without 4WD engaged......lol
