Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project
THe 246 is a computer controlled multiplate diff, and its also a 2speed. I've heard crazy good things about their speed of activiation and how crazy precise they are. The multiplates can kinda act like a viscous but from what I understand, handle more power since the level of "drag" cant be contolled with the computer. I think you can also mess with the allowed rates of difference, so like only allow axle rpms of difference (don't quote me on that last part, I was reading into it myself)
As for the 149 failing, I've seen a few threads on yellowbullet and a handful more on the TBSS and Silverado SS forums. Guys bust the chains, which sometimes damages the case. The biggest problem seems to be that the 4l80e output conversion ends up failing. A guy on pirate4x4 mentioned some concerns with heavy large diameter whees (speciafically offroad stuff, but the weight of big rims would apply the same). The jist of it was that the heavy rotational mass and large diameter can mean a ton of heat and problems with the differential speed at each axle. The large wheels change the way it reacts to the torque biasing, because they have a different # of rpms. I'm probably not exlpaining it that well.

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project
Ok, you have me hooked. AWD is about the best thing since pockets on a shirt.

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project
This is exactly what I want to do with my blazer. I just purchased a 83 k5 blazer within the last month.

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project
I would love to do that to mine. Around where I live some ppl give me crap for having a lowered 2wd truck. One guy told me I should just junk my truck n get a REAL 4wd truck. If I made mine awd I can still have a low truck with awd traction...best of both worlds

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project
That's exactly was I was thinking with my blazer. Everyone around here has some kind of lifted 4x4 truck. Would really like to drop my blazer to be different but still maintain four wheel drive. Also dropping it low might upset some people and that makes me laugh. Ill be watching closely for updates.

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project
Nice project..I have always loved the AWD setup ever since the Syclone came out. I would love to this to mine. I wish someone was building a bolt in version.
