I am reviewing options for a traction enhancing differential in my 2004 E350 mini school bus with a 4.10 full floater and a 5.4.
The bus will be driven my multiple people, not just me. I want whatever option I choose to offer a seamless user experience. This puts me at a factory LSD, a Powertrax No Slip, or a Truetrac. Selectables have me worried someone might activate it then go drive 50mph on pavement.
The Powertrax seems like a nice option and it is also the most affordable. (The Truetrac requires professional install, new axle shafts, and is about twice the price of the Powertrax...which I can install and does not need new shafts.)
My real question I guess is regarding road manners. I read/view about how making fast/sharp/aggressive driving maneuvers can cause some level of binding/popping/steering influence. I am wondering if, in a large and underpowered bus, where nothing happens quickly, if the side effects of a drop-in locker would be quite minimal?
The Powertrax is supposed to offer a pretty "polite" street experince. The bus will be operated in snow/ice.
Any thoughts, advice, answers would be great.
Thanks everyone.
