Eaton/Detroit, Torsen or Yukon seems to be the question
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:31 am
I am looking for input as to which to choose for my '98 AWD.
I have surveyed the used parts in the area, and have not found a suitable and serviceable 3.73 ratio LS rear end (GU4/G80 combo).
Some have suggested that I should forget about spending $100 or so, on a used unit 'that will fail'; and some shops call that unit a 'Time bomb'...
OK, I am getting the message. I have decided to heed the advice of the more experienced, and offer up my '98 van for a differential upgrade at a local well respected shop.
The questions is: Which unit should I install?
I am interested in the Pro's and Con's of the three units that seem to be available.
The Detriot/Eaton, the Torsen, and the Yukon, are all well regarded aftermarket assemblies and the shop I have chosen does not seem to care which I have them install. In fact they said I could supply the unit if I wished, and they would be happy to install what I supply.
