Go here http://www.torsen.com/products/T-2.htm
Basically, Torsen's are made out of gears, so theoretically, they never wear out.. The way the operate is totally different than the normal limited slips. One intresting note is on the stock torsen's, if one wheel totally loses traction, then it'll act like an open differential..
The ones we ahve from the factory is based on the T2, but is supposidly a bit skimpier since it was mass produced with cost in mind.. SLP sells a HD T2...
and then there's the T2R which is preloaded so it stays locked in scenario's the T2 will unlock and spin the loose tire. Pricey and hard to get, but its awesome!
