| Post subject: | LSD on an '06 |
I called the dealer today to get a price on a trac-lock from an '05, thinking I could put it in my '06. the service guy said that it won't work due to the ESP. the main diffrence, I hear, is that there is one ABS sensor on '05's (in the pumkin) and one on each wheel for 2006. is this true? |

Hmmm... I don't know.. I know there is a guy on here that has a locker on an 06.. I don't remember who it was... I don't see why it wouldn't work... I will have to call my dealership and ask them.. Ben |

I wouldn't think that a limited slip differential and ESP would play well together at ALL. ESP operates by applying the brakes to the wheel that slips, thus transferring power to the other wheel. a Trash-Lock uses the differential to accomplish the same task. You probably don't want two competing systems in there, unless you have them BOTH on switches. My suggestion is to get a real rear locker on a switch and never use ESP and the locker at the same time. You might be surprised how well ESP does at keeping you moving. It's a different principle than a locker (locker would keep both wheels spinning at the same rate, regardless of traction, ESP/LSD will try to prevent one wheel from losing traction and spinning helplessly). The only time I can imagine you'll have major issue with ESP vs a locker is when you have very low traction on all wheels, and ESP will be so busy applying the brakes it won't actually transfer much power at all. |

Thanks for the replies. I think I may wait to see how the driveline aftermarket responds to the ESP on the liberty and other DCX cars. I guess I don't really need a LSD, but I don't really need a 4x4 with 295lb/ft tq either. I just like thought it. |
