Will you set up a conquest LSD for the front of my truck? Or do I want to leave it loose for the front end?

you said that there are arb and aussie lockers for the front of the v6? I went to the web page of aussie lockers and for Monteros they only show for the newer models(1998-2009). Would you mind clarifying this issue? thanks

Would you mind clarifying this issue? thanks The problem is that most of the manufactures don't know much about the Montero fitment. Half the info on ARB's site is incomplete. In all reality the best way to find out what part number fits what is to ask us. The 8" v6 front diff came in a lot more models than the ARB or Aussie fitment guides list.

Just to add to the list... There was also a very rare aftermarket Torsen rear diff for the 2.6.
The factory rear LSD is a decent part. There was a TSB on it to reduce it's grip to deal with shuddering problems some owners had. If I remember right the fix was replacing / removing a set of clutch plates. It's possible to add extra clutch plates as long as you run the right gear lube (Redline is a favorite). My experience was that most shuddering problems could be cured with the right gear lube and the TSB was not needed.
