Default FG Differential?

What are you running in your FG, I was thinking about upgrading, what do you run and why?

That thread talks about almost ever diff available at some point. It's not just about the HARM. Did you read the thread, or just the title?

I run both, the adjustable diff and viscous diff in my onroad cars. Love them both.
Depends mostly on what purpose you intend to use your truck for and what experience you have with friction adjustments.
Both diffs are excellent to use and each serves a different purpose.

Hey clubin, i run that same diff in my truck and it's nice to have the adjustments there. i pretty much locked mine possi for the time being.. it's okay on traction and wheelies but it will defeat turning quite a bit. Also if you lock it dont try and tight obsticle bashing. But that what my Marder is for

they offer replacement parts like set screws for the diff also, i know cuz i lost one. so make sure when you set the screws where you want itlock tight thos suckers because they will back out!!
