[QUOTE="Bill Koonce, post: 934950, member: 68938"] FWIW I'm going to have at least one Torsen differential in my '07 Gen2 ST this winter. IME with the Torsen and other all-speed traction control systems, many e-mailed responses from engineers etc., I have no doubt that the Torsen will make my Gen2 a far better winter truck. I have many years of experience with Ford's various RWD IRS systems, and am a solid proponent of the Gen2 IRS system. My stock Gen2 suspension is tuned so it acts like an old pickup truck. But the right combo of shocks and bushings can change that easily. My main challenge has been in putting power to the pavement without activating the programs that close the throttle to "solve" imagined sporty driving. The Ford 6R transmission and Borg Warner Traction on Demand have a lot of unused performance potential. If the stock 6R55 can't handle a high output motor, no problem--there are 6Rxx models that can be swapped right in. I'm looking for venture capital that will replace the "nice" paper and bronze variable clutch with materials in the transfer case that will stand up to drag racing starts all day long. Remember that Traction on demand appears under different brand names (Ford's is called "Sport Trac" :rolleyes:) in the Big Three in many applications. There is a market... [/QUOTE]
