the installation was done on Wednesday. I did not get to speak with the tech as they were closed when I picked up the truck. Looking at the parts that they replace I would say that one of the bearings was difficult to remove as it is in pieces. There were no notes with the invoice indicating any issues. My total cost with the installation is a little over the one thousand dollar mark. Not bad for Canada.
What are your thoughts on the unit?
When I looked at it when it first arrived I was impressed at how robust it looked. It felt nice and heavy as well, not a light weight flimsy unit. The casting was nice and clean with no rough edges or imperfections. All the components appeared to be nice and tight. There were no funny noises when I shook it. It's obviously a good quality piece. Now that it's installed I notice a slightly different feel when cornering but the friction modifier is doing its job of allowing enough slip to prevent the inner wheel from spinning. My reason for getting one was for winter driving. Now, I should get a more positive drive from the rear and not need the four wheel to get out of my driveway.
I know that being in Canada my costs were a bit higher than they would have been in the U.S. with shipping and taxes but I don't think anyone could go wrong having one put in. You did a great job of putting that deal together, much appreciated.
Glad it's working out! I had hoped to have mine in but alas, I went to do the Tuff Pan install, and two of the trans pan bolts broke as I tried to remove them, so the trans has to come out to fix this mess. I'm going to do a clutch along w/ the trans bolt fix and the Tuff Pan install. Thinking of the Centerforce II ( I called Midway Industries and the rep. said the CF II would be best for my application and intended usage). Any thoughts or past experience on this choice?
Not really. When I had my engine and trans rebuilt I replaced the clutch with a stock one as I use my truck as a daily driver and don't need a high performance one. The original clutch had 225,000 kilometers on it and still didn't look too bad so I just replaced it with the same. What is your intended usage?
I have the Centerforce dual friction clutch disk with the CF II pressure plate for 25 years now - no complaints. I also run a lightened stock flywheel.

I just use it as a toy for the most part, always tinkering with something on it. Will move up to the dual 44 Mikuni set up when this latest debackle is over. I used to pull my boat w/ it (22 foot w/ Chevy engine). Used alot of clutch at that time. Also to pull my tractor out of the snow where I used to live.
I ordered a Power Brute LSD today from Drive Off Road for $250.99 no tax and free shipping for my 79 Arrow pickup. I have been looking for one of these units for a couple of years and this seems like a good deal. I have swapped in a Ford 302 and I hope it does the job. I really appreciated all of the great information that I got from all of the contributors.
Well, I got oneOriginally Posted by yamahlr
Thank you yamahlr for arranging this deal.
I'm going to pull the third member from my parts truck and have it rebuilt with this lsd unit.
So far I'm going to need;
- a pinion seal and carrier gasket
- a pair of carrier bearings
- a pair of pinion bearings
- some Lucas 75W Syth gear oil
- oil modifier?
- front nut
-
How about the drive gear bolts? Can they be reused or are the stretch necks?

what is the difference in the power brute offered for the 4 cylinder and the 6 cylinder Mighty max? did the V6's come with a bigger rearend?
it depends - they should all be the 8" rear diff, but there was a 1 ton model that came with the 9" rear - I do know the 9" came in 2nd gen Monteros, and some of them were air lockers.

Well they have three different part numbers for the power brutes. One for the 4 cylinder, one for the v6 with "spacers", and one for v6 with out spacers. So I'm guessing they have different axles
Does anyone know if we can still get these lsd for the 250ish price? i went to the link and they are damn near $500!!! DO i need to call and tell them about this site price?? Any info would be great
I believe these units are no longer being manufactured and there were a limited number available over a year ago.
I just bought mine from www.thejeephut.com for $350 plus shipping. This was the cheapest I have found, and they are right they have been discontinued. If you can wait about a week I may have a stock LSD for sale here soon.
ok sounds good let me know. How many miles on it?
Just tell them that you are a member of this forum which has some decent clout and can send them extra business if you can be treated with a better lower price. Don't be afraid to haggle prices in a friendly manner with businesses supporting our trucks. You don't want to give us a bad name or rep, but sometimes a little influence of possible future business can get a few dollars off for yourself. Be sure to pass on a discounted price to fellow members as well. That's what we are here for, among all the other reasons.
ok sounds good thank for the info
I should be getting the rearend this week. It will be out of a 4x4 model if it has one. I still have to crack it open and see. I'll PM you thou
Just wondering if somebody could clear things up for me? I've got a 88 ram50 4cyl and I'm trying to find a lsd for it but I'm getting confused on what type of rear axle I have, what gears I have, what kind of lsd fits, and where to buy one. could some one clear things up for me, thanks.
TYPES OF DIFFERENTIALS
All trucks 79-96 came with what Mitsubishi would call a 8inch differential in the rear
GEAR RATIOS
D50/MMs came with 3 different possible gearing options
3.545 used in certain 2wd trucks let you achieve optimal fuel mileage
3.909 most common gear ratio used in about our trucks most 4x4 came with them for sure
4.222 rarely seen in the D50/MMs only seen so far in 4x4s so far primarily seen in Dodge Raiders/Mitsubishi Monteros
4.625 never came in the trucks only seen in the Monteros/Raiders swaps into our housings
LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIALS & IDENTIFICATIONS OF THEM
LSDs or different gears can be swapped out of various vehicle depending upon wich diff you have if you have the 7.5in diff a rear diff
out of any FOUR CYLINDER MM/D50, Montero/Raider will work
If you have a LSD factory you will have an orange sticker in the door jam and on the differential housing its self talking about the use of LSD additive inside of that housing If you cant find those stickers but still wanting to make sure you do or dont have an LSD you can jack the back of your truck up and spin one wheel then watch the other side to see if it spins in the same direction
Now if you have a 4x4 MM/D50 the rear differential out of a Starion/Conquest will work Starions 1983-1987 (1986/87 widebodies all came LSD, narrowbodies with LSD are more rare) used a 7.5" diff, which will work in the FRONT of a 4cyl truck/rig. Starions 1988-1989 used a 8.0" diff, which will work in the FRONT of a V6 truck/rig. (thanks Robert) If you have a V6 powered truck any first gen Montero/Raider with a V6 will change differentials with your trucks 2nd generation Monteros wont work with the 8in housing available in our trucks I was told the Monteros have a high pinion design compared to the trucks low pinion design
ok so I more than likely have a 8inch with 3.545 gears, where is the easiest and most cost effective place I can find a lsd that would fit in it?
and my local junk yard only has a 1st gen power ram50 auto 4x4 with the 2.6l, that wouldn't have one in it probably would it?
