Torsen, hey, can you get a Torsen diff for the Dakota's? I'd be most interested in one of those if they are available.

How many miles Sam? You've never changed the diff lube?
Shame on you! I changed out the break-in lube at ~40K,
then switched to synthetic at ~60K. Probably due for
another change here at ~120K miles. Sure-Grip clutch
material doesn't make a good lubricant, so they need to
have the fluid changed out. I could see where the little
bits could deposit in the bearings...
When you talk to the guy, could you ask what a Torsen, or
Quaife differential would cost?
Good luck,
Jim
