I was curious if when your car is not peeling out do you get power to both wheels on the 4.0 V6 stangs?

[hotshot]

yes. but if you want to peel out with both wheels you can get a 8.8 take-off

"Power to both wheels." Let me think about that. It's not as catchy as "power to the people", but I guess it makes for an okay slogan.



Oh, and if your car doesn't have a traction lock or some type of limited slip differential, then I'm pretty sure that your car is always powering only one wheel.

i agree, i dont think you ever got both wheel power with an open differential

+1 with the open differential, only the right rear wheel gets power

[pmr2000]

You are always getting power (=torque) to both rear wheels with an open diff.

Problem is it is divided equally to each wheel no matter what. So when one wheel slips and starts spinning you are wasting all the torque spinning and effectively reducing the torque since you have no traction on one wheel.

The posi's/lsd's overcome this problem by transferring more power to the wheel that is not spinning.

if you want some crazy rear end stuff the ford ranger uses he same 7.5 rear end we do, and they make a detroit locker for it

The one wheel burnouts on the V6 are normal. You need this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-4204-C75/#

I put a ford racing locking diff in mine. don't wast the money, go straight for an 8.8 take off.
