Diff or tranny slippage when turning left.

[Ralph50]

Sometimes when I turn left it feels as if my torque converter slips. It only happens when I turn left so I assume that it is the differential.

The problem is not persistent and it only happens like 1 out of 10 times I turn left.

The truck is a 2000 with 95,000 miles on the odo.

What could this be and should I be concerned???


Thanks.

You feel a chatter or shudder through the truck right? That's the clutches in the differential going due to normal wear. You can live with it, replace the clutches or go with a detroit locker or true trak. The last two will completely eliminate this from ever happening again. :thumbsup:

Nope not at all.

At first I thought it was the torque converter but it has to be the diff. since it is only while turning left.

I hate the smell of gear oil. Specially when it gets in your hair.

Thanks

I'm sure you checked trans fliud level right? Engine/trans warm, parked level with engine running, trans in park.

Just looked up the Detroit Locker and Tru trak.

They are like $500

Is there anything cheaper out there???

I don't really race my truck or anything.

if you dont race it just rebuild what you have.

It wouldn't be hard for rebuilding what he has to end up costing more than a new diff. Changing clutches in a 9.75 isn't a 30 minute DIY job that costs $50 in parts like an 8.8 or most other clutch diffs.
