    Is it a LSD?

    I was told it was built to be a LSD. With it out of the car on the ground, if I turn the pinion both the side flanges move the same direction. If i hold the pinion and try to turn the flange they lock. what do I have?

    If you hold the pinoin and turn one flange and the other turns in the same direction, it is LS. Also if oyu turn the pinion and hold one flange and it tries to rip it out of your hand, it is LS. If you hold the pinion and turn one flange and the other turns in the opposite direction, it is open. If you turn the pinion, hold one flange and the other spins, it is open.

          Should have a big white "S" with a border around it on top of the hosing and a "s" on the identification tag before the ratio numbers.

          Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

            If the diff was 'built' to be an LSD it won't have that.

              Or if it is covered with shit. Also, the tags on the back with the gear ratio may or may not say S on them, but that could have been swapped with the rear cover.

                Oops, missed the OP stating that.

                    Your camera is drunk

                    This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

                        That one is an open diff, you can see the side and spider gears. Here is a pic of an LSD unit from this for sale thread
