look for a '95.
Is there a write up anywhere in the change in the diffs between the 95 and 95.5 avants? I really like being able to lock the rears on 20V, and 'may'prefer a wagon set up this way. I assume you can't retro fit to the 95.5. Has anyone who has had both tell me what they think?
thx
Mike

EDL applies the brake at one wheel to stop wheel spin. The center diff is torsen and the front and rear diffs are open.
If you install an early diff, you can mechanically lock the rear diff. Whether you use the locker or not, EDL is oblivious and functions normally, although it will probably rarely actuate in the rear when the diff is locked.
Step up to torsen in the rear and you don't have to worry about locking or unlocking the diff. As will the stock diff or locker, EDL is just does its thing. Torsen distributes the power rear automagically, and if one wheel has zero traction, EDL is the safety net.
The open diff case and tosen diff case are very similar. It's hard to tell them apart. Internally, they are vastly different.
