I still have to pick a kit up for the Coyote. There are about a half a dozen different designs available and I haven't decided which way I want to go yet. Patman went with burying his filter between the back of the engine and frame. It's a workable solution but I'd like to find a location with an easier access so I've been patient about picking up a kit. What's this kit you've shown off of?

Well my movie date with my granddaughter has been postponed until tomorrow or Wednesday. So White, how was the movie? I'm interested to know if some of the unsung people behind the GT40 that are rarely mentioned made it in to the movie? Aside from Shelby some of those people are Bruce McLaren, Roy Lunn and Westlake-Gurney to name just a few. This was before Gurney became a driver of the car but their engine and head designs went on to become the Eagle engines.

Hi All,
A question for the thinkers...
Currently the truck has an open rear diff but fancy changing it to a LSD as it's pretty easy to spin up a single rear tire in the wet when pulling away on some of our local roads even without really trying... Doh
Should also help with traction when towing my travel trailer especially since a lot of sites here in the UK are grass
I know the easy way to do this is just find an axle and swap the whole thing but being in the UK, that's not really practical to do...
What do I need to buy to change things over, is it just the main part like these?

Or is there still more parts to buy?
I know have a 9.75 Diff and I'm guessing it will be 34 spline since it looks like the 8.8 is 31
Any recommendations for parts would be appreciated
Cheers
Adrian.

You shouldn't have much trouble finding this and an install kit close by to you. If you can't, Summit will ship to you. I'm not at all familiar with the 9.75 but there should be more options available. I would think? Did you look into what differentials were used on the HD Transit Vans? They might have come with the 9.75?

Best movie I've seen in a long time. My Wife isn't really into cars, and she liked it as well. Without giving some of it away, I'll just say that I was surprised at a couple of things I did not know. I hate to be a spoiler, LOL, so I'll leave it at that.
