I have two of them. They aren't any easier to install than any other differential carrier, so I don't know what that meant that a mechanically inclined person can install one. That is true, but you do need a variety of special tools, good instructions and a lot of patience.
It is a limited slip differential that uses gears rather than clutches to engage and disengage. It is made by the same company that builds the detroit locker which is a locking differential rather than limited slip.
It is very stout and will wear longer than a clutch type posi. It won't fly apart like a GM gov lock. If I could fault it for anything, it would be the backlash in the unit that gives it a little 'clunk' similar to a slightly worn u joint, but that's just the way it works and I've gotten used to it.
All in all, I'm happy with mine. Where are you finding them for $200? They are closer to $400 all the places I've seen them...
