wow...I wouldn't go by that linked thread if you want to learn anything useful. sounds like a bunch of people don't know what they are talking about.

Take it to a mechanic if you don't have a shop manual

How can you be more accurate than quoting from the Helm's manual?

Page 15-23 describes a "Rotating Torque Check" procedure for the LSD:

1 - Set parking brake and block rear wheels

2 - Raise front of vehicle and support with jackstands

3 - With engine off, shift transmission into neutral

4 - Measure the rotating torque with a beam-type torque wrench in the direction shown (shows CW on driver's side). Rotate more than two complete turns and take the maximum reading

5 - Shift into 1st gear and measure the rotating torque again

6 - Calculate the rotating torque as RT = T5/T4 (where T4 is torque as measured in step 4 and T5 is as measured in step 5). RT should be at least 2.5.

7 - Repeat steps 3-6 for the other wheel

8 - Replace LSD if RT &lt; 2.5

Cheers!

Sorry i was just put off by the "if i remember right.." and "unless im forgetting something.." that go with some of the threads people refer to. This happens a lot when people say "did you search?".

Just because it is in the archive doesn't necessarily make it correct.
