My Daughter's WG Laredo has stock quadra-trac with open diff centres which when driven on a greasy paddock is a useless as 'deodorant is for a homeless bum'.
I have a WG CRD overland parts donor with quadradrive diffs that I want to swap into her car, as this has likely already been done by another forum user I am hoping that they will share and tips or precautions with me.
I note the diesel diffs used 3.55 ratios whereas the petrol diffs are 3.77, this is no big deal and the speedo will likely under read a little and she will lose a little launch torque but as she is not serious wheeler and only does horse float towing occasionally it will be no big deal.
I like the quadradrive drive concept that simply engages when wheels spin occurs because as a young lady she is not interested in locking diffs etc she just wants to gas it and get going.
I look forward to other members input.
Hi Sockeye, thanks for that info, I suspected it was that straight forward but I was interested in others personal experience because sometimes the unexpected things can jump up and bite you on the ass.
Do you still have the VG ute with the camper on the back?
Hi mistaken identity I knew a guy a few years back in Vic who had a VG ute with a camper on it who uses the internet moniker the same as yours, i assumed you were one and the same, looks like a co-incidence.
