OK here goes. Being a curious sort of lad I thought I would find out more about my 1992 Jackaroo LSD. I thought having LSD was a good thing for offroad capabilities. Not as good as diff lockers but hey, it came with the vehicle.So after some initial searching I was quickly dissapointed about the lack of info I could find on a jackaroo LSD. Now I heard, read, was told to put a brick under front wheel jack up one back wheel and try to climb over brick. Putting safety concerns aside I thought "why not". Set it up and tried to climb a lousy house brick. Talk about dissapointed. I was going nowhere fast.

Turns out I may as well not have LSD as it doesn't do a darn thing to help me.

I went and talked to my mechanic Eddie. He put it on the hoist and confirmed my LSD is not so limited anymore.
Now apparently the clutch plates in this diff are worth $ 200.00 each and there might be as many as 12 of them.

Now my Questions.
1: Is the Jackaroo lsd diff the same as they are sticking in the Rodeo's.
2: Can I use a special Diff fluid to held the LSD work better.
3: If I get secondhand diff, will it be any better than what I have now.
4: Maybe I should accept my LSD for what it is and not worry about it.
5: can they be fixed with aftermarket parts and where could I find them.
6: Should I just stick in a difflock of some type in the front and not worry about the back.
7: Am I asking too many questions

TIA
