One Way only from the looks of your picture. Hopefully you don't have to drill it out. It's a Dana rear end . Screenshot 20220410 124846 ChromeScreenshot 20220410 124310 Photos

Even with the pictures showing that it's the Dana carrier unit, still not sure if it's a modified Dana 28 or 30.

Would the # of splines or diameter tell us anything like the old school bronco? ie: 28 = 1" with 23spline, 30 = 1.15" with 27spline
Then again like blue said, who knows w/ mods.

I want to say I saw somewhere else where the spline count in the SHO didn't match the factory Dana offerings. I thought it was in here.

nevermind, it was a PM.

Per @Bluezone:


Dana 28 has 23 spline axles and Dana 30 has 27. Our RDU has 25. Escape has 23 splines.

Sound like a Dana 29....:rofl:
Man, they just can't leave anything alone. I would venture to GUESS that they modded a 28 knowing the rear would have relatively low starting torque compared to the front??

That's why my research on this earlier had me believing it with a modified Dana 28 or Dana 30. The spline count was in between both of them. The nice thing is traction Concepts has a Dana 28 LSD already.

Nice Andrew!

Let's hope it works as good as it looks. But they have a proven track record with other platforms don't they?

Oh yeah they make them for lots of other vehicles and I can’t find anything bad about their company which if there was something bad you know the internet wouldn’t hide it. DB735500 E7DF 43A2 BC9E ABE014B2A255

You guys are killin me here.

All these advancements in the last year are amazing. These two lsds are some of the most exciting imo.

Unfortunately for me the wife and I close on a new house here in a few weeks so all the fun money is tied up for awhile.
By the time you are able to snag these items hopefully I or others, can show you how beneficial they are.

Still aching to know what model our rear gear assembly actually is!
It sounds like the rear may be a little more custom in regards to fitment as compared to the front? More of a "take material off the gears until they fit with the LSD module". Can you confirm @802SHO ?

It appears to be a custom Dana rear end. Best guess is Loosely based on the Dana 28 but with upgrades. Earlier Escape versions of this differential used Dana 28 parts. It is very similar but not the same. Had me scratching my head while doing the research. You would have to talk to Andrew up to get the particulars on what traction Concepts told him.
