hijack...

So is there any downsize from getting an open diff with a 4:30 ratio and putting torsen type 1 pineapple in it?

are there any advantages to torsen type 2 over a torsen type 2

So Mike you convert an open to a torsen.

Any advantages or a Type 1 or 2?

I have read, some pace that a 1 is a it more HD over the 2 but I do know that as a fact. Also that the type one has more preload, again cannot confirm its true.

We are not that hard on diffs so either is good.
