Pulling out welded diff?

[DruidAT]

This might sound stupid but I was wondering if I can remove my welded diff and replace it with a 1.5 way LSD in the future without having to get a new pumpkin. I didn't install my welded diff so I'm not sure how it works. I just wasn't sure if after welding it that the LSD is permanently stuck in the pumpkin?

There is a small questions thread for questions like this but yes you can replace it.

No, welding an differential only welds the gears near the center together or something. not any shafts or axles. im pretty sure the 1.5/2 way lsd is a drop in kit. i swapped my open out for a vlsd and its not so difficult.

Yes you can swap in a lsd just make shure the technician that I stalls the lsd is experienced and o ows how to properly setup a rear end for being such a simple thng they need to be done precisely to last and not make nasty noises

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be upgrading in the near future. I'm tired of this welded diff.
