Differential For Ford 8.8

[Iamnottelling]

I wondered what people suggested for a 93 Bronco in the way of a limited slip Differential. I do some moderate offroading and have a fairly stock engine so I dont' think I need anything to expensive. I was looking at the Detroit limited or the Eaton? I chose them because of what I would consider a good reputation and moderate price. Also, any brand preference on Ring and Pinion?

The reason for this is, I was recently offroading and I guess I busted the Dif case and with little warning (2 minuets or so) the next day the rear end locked up on the freeway. I have not dug into it yet but I am confident that a new Ring and Pinion will be needed and a new Dif. I am hoping that the case is not busted just the bolt on cover or can the "Banjo" (As someone called it) be welded?

I would think Auburn L/S would be cheaper and just as strong as
the Detroit and Eaton for weekend wheelin.
For Gears I like Yukon, They havent failed me yet and
Randy's Ring & Pinion sells them for a good price.
If you go cheap for gears you will pay for it later.
Genuine Gear has a lifetime warranty for a reason,
STAY AWAY!!!!!
On a side note. PM me if you are.
I have a Ford Tracklock and an Open 8.8 carrier
for sale if you are interested.

I have found that I had leaked all the fluid out of the differential so I had warn the bearing out and since it is all apart I am just going to look at getting a limited slip Differential.

I am having trouble finding sights that describe the advantages and construction of the various differentials both Eaton and Detroit (I thought Detroit had a couple of different kinds?) I had thought I had found a great sight a while ago but can't find it now

I would use a factory ford unit. You can get the kits to rebuild them for like $50.00 and simply add extra clutches to them to make them work just as well as a big name unit. what axle splines are you running? (28 or 31).
