Exactly my point. I am holding a SG unit in my hand and cant figure
out how it could possibly slip. The gears are constant mesh to both
wheels. The unit was ordered from Chrysler for an 8.25 Dakota. It says
"torque-lock" on it. The part number is CMC 52098778. Is this the
correct part to upgrade my rear to LSD or SG (I'm assuming LSD and SG
are the same thing). Any help explaining this and IDing the part will
be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to install it to find out I purchased
a locker in error. Thanks, Joe

No question is stupid, but I'n not sure I can explain the phenenom. A
picture here is worth a thousond words, but here goes. The pinion
turns the ring gear which is attached to a carrier housing that
contains a set of "SPIDER" gears that are mated to side carrier gears
that the axles are splined to. Hell - I just read back over that and
it doesn't even make sense to me. Anyone else want to try this one!!!
Sorry Phil
