Last week I ran across an 86 Bronco 2 in the Pick A Part and a quick check of the door sticker shows an axle code D4 and referencing the section in the tech library tells me its the 3.73 L/S. My current 88 B2 has the 3.73 (Code 44) open diff....is there any real good reason for a daily driver to bother with this type of swap, or would it make more sense to go aftermarket for a limited slip. Mostly used on the street, occasional very light duty gravel, dirt, and a little mud on the backroad drives.
Is there any way to tell in a pick a part yard if that limited slip is any good? I know you can spin 1 wheel to see if the other wheel spins the same direction to check for a limited slip, but that don't necessarily mean the limited slip clutches are in good working order right?
