    Yeah, I installed a limited slip out of an Isuzu Impluse, into the front diff of my VX a few years back....Works great, no need for hubs, just enough "slip" for tight turns on dry pavement, AND in the off road stuff, just stab the brakes and throttle and you got both front tires PULLIN...

    Last time I checked the 10 bolt LS diff, were still availble new OEM from isuzu....but pricey $$$$

    I talked to Jerry about the Imulse diff, they showed 2 left in the US, he ordered them, nothing inside, just the housing itself. Turns out someone stripped the guts already. So unless there are some private dealers that are sitting on them, they are all but impossible to come by new.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I also called each individual yard that had a Turbo Impulse listed about a year ago, and I could not find a 10 bolt LSD.

    Just wanted to revisit this with an update. The aussie has performed flawlessly. Lots of trail time, makes the VX a whole new machine. I highly recommend it to anyone who is actually gonna wheel their VX.
