Power Brute limited slip diff.

[4cylinders]

hey, yes asap.

[Andy 2]

Yes, and if you don't get enough response to make it worth while I would like to know where I can order one.

[yamahlr]

OK I will call the rep tomorrow. Without the group buy, you would have to call a retailer and get a price from them. The company will not sell piecemeal(one at a time) parts, they aren't set up for that and this was a sideline for their 'meat and potatoes" business. I'll post accordingly with further info. I believe the following will be how they do it: I will get a shipping quote ( I'm trying for a flat rate for the U.S. to make it simplier) then you'll need a bank check or money order to the company. I will collect and send them in with the address you want the lsd sent to. Their shipping point is not that far from me location wise so that should move quickly. If all else failed, I would be willing to drive down, pick them up and ship them to members for whatever the shipping charges are. If they will not do such a small amount in the GB I may buy a number of them and sell them myself. From speaking to the rep.,he had hopes to sell a number more of these in one shot so we'll see what shakes out this week. BTW. I spoke w/ the guy who does a lot of diif work in the city who is going to do mine. He indicated about $200-250 for the R&R. Had the factory diagram said very straightforward in and out job. Be sure to purchase a pinion seal, and axle seals and inspect bearings. My truck has such low miles he felt all parts other than the pinion seal could be reused.

[Andy 2]

Can they tell you who the retailers are? I checked out a few and our lsd was not listed.

[4cylinders]

hey, any new info on this deal?????

[yamahlr]

I am trading phone calls w/ the rep. The email is the number of units we will be ordering, but I think we can work this out. I hope to speak w/ him tomorrow. They had hoped the group buy would involve enough or nearly enough to sell all the units in their inventory, but it doesn't appear that is going to happen.

[yamahlr]

Fellas, I am about done with this rep. He wants me to put the amount of the sales for each lsd on MY charge card and charge me sales tax which I would have to collect from each of you plus shipping. He lowered the price to $285 plus sales tax to me then I would have to pick them up plus which is 8 hours round trip plus charge individually for shipping from my address to yours. I have to tell you I've about reached my limit. I have several hours in chasing this down and have only $85 in sales tax to potentially show for it. In my opinion this is why they have been on the shelf so long.

[Andy 2]

Do they not have dealers that they sell to? Perhaps if we went through a dealer we could arrange a group buy and still get a discount. A dealer might be a little easier to work with. Let someone else deal with the rep who can just charge it to their account. Someone who could sell them on e-bay would be ideal. We could each pay with PayPal and you wouldn't have to put out all the money up front, or deal with the shipping etc.

hey, any new info on this deal?

[yamahlr]

Dilligence has it's rewards guys. I did not like the way I was (we) were treated and called to speak to the owner. After much wrangling, had a 45 min. conversation with the e-commerce manager. The end result is this (drumroll): The units will cost $250.99, and free shipping and NO sales tax. I have a link you can go to to get this price directly from the company. I don't really know how to post an email here so I'm going to write it out. If you have a problem,someone who can paste the email, contact me and I'll forward the email the manager sent me with the link and you can post it. The link is the following: http://www.driveoffroad.com/closeout...-differential/. Enjoy! The guy in Canada, if you still need someone to ship the Mitsu parts, I'll speak w/ my parts guy this week to see if he would ship there.

[4cylinders]

hey, thank you!!!!
on the way, will post when it arrives.

[camoit]

Don't forget to use friction modifer...

[Fordubishi]

Like Sawdust or Sand ???

[4cylinders]

hey, it comes with it.
sawdust for noise, sand for break-in?

[camoit]

No No No,,,, Feathers and tampons.. This is for a truck, for god sake.

[Andy 2]

Thanks for thinking about me yamahlr. I will try ordering one and see if the free shipping applies to Canadian orders if indeed they will ship to Canada. As for the seals, if Rock Auto doesn't have them I will need them shipped from a Mitsu dealer down south.

[yamahlr]

Obviously no one has gone to a technical school, it's honey nut Cheerios as a friction modifier!

[Andy 2]

Well, the free shipping does not apply to Canada, but then it never does. I ordered one today. Shipping $46.90, not too bad. Keep me informed about the seals please. If your friend can ship them here that would be great.

[yamahlr]

So you can't get them in your neck of the woods?

[Andy 2]

I have contacted Mitsu dealers about other parts in the past, with part numbers, and they tell me their system does not go that far back. I don't think Mitsubishi has been in Canada all that long and their database is not synced with Mitsu in America. Dodge dealers may be able to get them but I have not checked yet as we were not sure the diff deal was a go. The last time I tried to order anything from them they told me that the vehicle was no longer serviced. If you know the part numbers of the seals and bearings we need that would help me out a lot in checking with them. Also, when the tranny shop replaced the back seal on my 2 wd's auto trans they found it at a local industrial supplier of power transmission components. it was an on the shelf item. In this case, however, I don't want to wait until I have the diff installed to find out the parts are not available.

[Fordubishi]

Mitsubishi has only been in Canada since 2003 before that all we got was the rebadged Dodge's.

[4cylinders]

hey, these seals should be available at your local parts store.
with a name like princess, maybe not?

[4cylinders]

hey, timken part numbers, 224570 pinion seal.
225110 rear wheel seal.
if they don't carry timken, these numbers should cross.
Timken/Pinion Seal - Rear Part Number: 224570

[Andy 2]

Thanks, There's a bearing ans seals place in the city I'll check. They carry Timken. Are the bearings Timken also?

[4cylinders]

hey, they should have a listing for them.
should save you a lot of time and money buying localy.
