Has anyone managed to destroy an aftermarket LSD? I am in the market for one.

I guess I should restate that I am in the market for a new one, not one that is broken. lol

I been reading this site for 3.5 years and do not recall anyone breaking an aftermarket LSD. I am not sure if it is a power level or what. I know that some on here have really tested the capabilities of these units.

i think i remember someone posting up a while ago that they broke a detroit true trac. i think the guy was lifted with big tires and pushing pretty big power. i can't remember.

I have broken the factory g80, a eaton E locker and a detroit true trac. I am currently running a eaton posi. We have a slight dip in the drag strip right where my truck shifts from first to second. Sometimes I get a little axle hop that seems to cause terminal rear diff damage. I am hopeing my new traction bars prevent future problems. I'm running 28-14.50-16 slicks.

I'm running a TruTrac with no problems to date. Running mid 12's with 33" tires. Never skipped a beat.
