    How does a limited slip work on a Chevy Silverado?

    The majority of limited-slips are progressive clutch-based which means the more power applied, the more they lock the two axles together. This leads to both wheels spinning more or less at the same rate, so that one wheel with traction can hopefully pull you out.

    Why does a Chevy Silverado have an open differential?

    The gears inside control the ratio to how many driveshaft rotations equal one wheel rotation; the lower the gear ratio, the more power to the rear wheels coming from a stop. Figure 1. Rear differential diagram. Open differentials are what you’ll find in just about every base model truck because they’re cheaper and lower maintenance.

    What makes a Chevy Silverado turn so fast?

    Since low torque is required to spin that wheel, that same amount of low torque gets applied to the wheel on the opposing side. Basically, one wheel will be turning very fast while the other will be turning barely any if at all.

    What makes a Chevy Silverado spin on Ice?

    If one wheel looses traction such as it being on ice or even off the ground, it takes very little torque to make that wheel spin. Since low torque is required to spin that wheel, that same amount of low torque gets applied to the wheel on the opposing side.

    How are the rear ends of a Chevy named?

    Rear ends with measurement designations are named after the diameter of the ring gear, i.e. 7.2 and 8.5 inch. As Chevrolet used many different rear-end models throughout the years, casting codes vary in both location and translation. Information given is for GM-manufactured rear ends.

    When did the Chevy 10 bolt rear end come out?

    Month codes begin with “A” for January and end with “L” for December. According to Nasty Z28, the GM/Chevrolet 12-bolt rear end was manufactured from 1965 through 1971. After that, GM instituted the “Corporate” rear end, a 10-bolt rear end that integrated feartures of both the 10- and 12-bolt rear ends.
