G'day

It has been stated on the GMCnet that the 3.21 to 1 planetary gear final drive acts like a LSD so I performed an experiment
yesterday to see if that was correct.

I clamped the final drive mounting flange in a vise and installed the axle extension in the passenger side of the final drive.

I had a mate hold the drive flange on the driver side and I turned the axle extension on the passenger side.

There was virtually NO resistance to me turning the axle extension.

As far as I'm concerned this demonstrates that the 3.21 planetary gear final drive doe not act like a LSD.
