Hi guys,
Just wanted to let you know that waiting for the ARB is killing me.
Anyways, we have a member over at ORR who works for Torsen. Apparently they have developed a Torsen l/s for the Ranger/Explorer front axle (SLA) and have been running the prototype on MacCachren's BITD truck. So there is already one developed, and for those of you in the know about Torsen products, it is a T-2. For those of you who don't, the Torsen is basically a torque-sensing/torque-biasing differential, using parallel gears(no clutches to wear out) that last the life of the vehicle. It instantaneously changes and manages torque between the axles as you drive.
At any rate FRPP is considering carrying the front Torsen, but has not made a descision yet. I am trying to put together a list of potential buyers to e-mail them and show that there is definately and interest amongst Ranger and Explorer owners. Please don't post or flame about how a locker is better than l/s, etc. Both have their places, advantages and disadvantages. All I want to know is who would be interested. The link to the post is below.
