There are lots of LSD options for the 10-bolt 8.8! Just put in your vehicle info on this page to check out our selection.

Feel free to PM me if have any questions on specifics!

I've had my eye on the Detroit Truetrac, but they don't make one for the new 8.8 with 34 splines.

According to the product page on Stage 3, there are a couple of companies working on a LSD or locker for the 8.8

I'm just wondering why this Mustang Torsen 8.8 with 34 splines would not work:

Whoops, you are correct about that. Still have LSD choices available for the 2015+ 8.8s

NP. Maybe you can point out which ones are available.
When I search 2016 F-150, the site only returns the G2 Core Locker, and the G2 Limited Slip which only shows 31 splines.

Thanks in advance,

The traction control system is designed to work as an E-LSD. The system brakes the spinning wheel providing resistance so power can go to the wheel with more traction. You can even set the TC system to allow more wheel spin before reducing engine power. Works like a mechanical LSD without the components.

Edit: This video shows that even though it's an open differential both wheels spin like a LSD would with traction control working.

Would that be the "One Wheel Spin Control"
How do you set the system to allow more spin?

Perhaps theoretically.. It does not work well in the real world though.
