Installing an LSD in a Tundra

[H2O MAN]

I am not able to install this myself, so what is a fair price to pay an experienced tech to install an Auburn LSD in my 2007 Toyota Tundra, and who would you recommend in the Athens, GA area?


I will supply the LSD, gear oil, additive, and installation kit.

Does the gen 2 years not have factory LS? I know the gen 3 does

LSD, wow, I haven't seen any of that since the 80's​

There has not been a factory mechanical LSD in the Tundra since 2007, and we will have to wait and see what they offer in the 3rd generation when it is released. All 2nd generation Tundra 2007 to 2021 have an electronic braking system that is supposed to perform like a true LSD / POSI, but it does not.

Gen 3 started in 2014. My 2014 has auto LS which is brake operated. Was curious if the ‘07 did and how they would work together.

The Tundra is still on Gen 2, and all of them have the same fake LSD system. 2014 was a refresh, but it remains a 2nd Gen truck... Gen 2.5 if you will. Bottom line, none of them a factory mechanical LSD from the factory.

If your gonna crack open the rear, why not go with a true locker, especially if your gonna be off-roading at all?

Either way whichever gen I was curious if one has the brake operated LS and you install a mechanical one will they both work together.

I'd assume whichever kicks in first ?

Mine is a 4x2 street truck.

They work together, and the Auburn should always kick in first.
