    Post Question about Front LSD

    So I am looking into putting the Isuzu Impulse Turbo LSD (10 bolt Isuzu) in the front Diff of my VX with the 4.77 gears I already have in there, but I have a couple of questions:

    I found some used Impulse LSDs and will probably end up going that route ($200-$300), but if I got a new LSD from Isuzu what all would I need to order?

    What new parts from Isuzu would this require?

    I know that this whole assembly from Isuzu is WAY too exspensive for me, but would have probably more than I need right?:
    Differential, Carrier assy
    w/Limited Slip - Non integral type
    List Price : $2,848.60
    Your Price : $2,278.88

    So could I just order this one $300 part? Not sure what all "Differential Case" would could with:
    Differential, Differential case
    w/Limited Slip Diff - Non integral type
    List Price : $373.92
    Your Price : $299.14

    What about all these parts, necessary, can't I just use the 4.77's parts and just install the LSD inner?:
    Differential, Pinion shaft
    w/Limited Slip Diff - Non integral type
    List Price : $95.69
    Your Price : $76.55
    ----------
    Differential, Shaft
    w/Limited Slip Diff - Non integral type
    List Price : $89.74
    Your Price : $71.79
    ----------
    Differential, Side gear
    w/Limited Slip Diff - Non integral type
    List Price : $119.69
    Your Price : $95.75

    Anyways, as I stated before I found some used 3rd members with the LSD so I will probably get 1 of those and then list them here if I don't, but would buying new be just WAY too exspensive? Thanks.

    Ryan, out of curiosity, why not just go with an actual locker?

    Going with an aussie locker I would not be able to run 4Hi, because I would have to install selectable HUBs and have them "unlocked" when driving around town. I really like the 4Hi for Houston flooding, etc. Also my rims, and rim covers will not work with selectable HUBs, I would have to go without the wheel covers (looks ghetto) or heavily modify them (probably look more ghetto) and probably break the wheel covers regardless.

    So instead of spending A LOT of money on ARB lockers or worrying with HUBs and Aussie's and not having 4Hi, I want to go with the LSD and just hit the brakes when I get stuck, which will not be often because I do not wheel enough to spend that much on ARB

    I've had the same concerns Ryan. I'd like to have the LSD front so that in the event we have another 6 inch snow storm here, I can wheel around in 4-hi without concern. Or any other time I might need 4-hi on asphalt, for whatever the reason. I'm interested in how this turns out. Has anyone successfully integrated that LSD front in to a VX or are you going to be the first?
