Post by: Gary_Hill on March 09, 2007, 12:31:18 AM: I had a limited slip from Calmini in my v6 Vit and it was a proto type ( one of a kind ). It worked well but I broke a tooth on the pinion gear and it started clunking ...I feel that the v6 was too much motor for the small Suzuki ring and pinion turning 31x10.50 BFGs. I now have a Ford 9" and I dont think the 175 hp v6 can break it. The Ford 9 r/p is twice the size of the Zuk r/p. It was built by Currie and rated at 600 hp. The weak point is now the tcase u-joint on the Suzuki drive shaft. The u-joint will be way cheaper and easier to replace than the third member. Plus I now have Ford Explorer rear disk brakes and Lokar universal E brake. The rear end swap was not cheap but I feel it was inevitable. A ford 9 can be done for a lot less than Currie charges. Just my experience with a locker in the v6 Vit...Gary

I'm running an ARB in mine (for now).
