Car Used Differential
What is Differential?
If you ever played with a toy car, then you know it moves well in a straight line but it doesn’t take a turn. This is because it doesn’t have a differential. But, your vehicle makes turns on corners, whether it’s front, rare, four, or all-wheel-drive.
A differential is defined as a gear train, which consists of three gears that feature the rotational speed of one shaft is the average speed of the others, or a fixed multiple of that average.
The differential is a set of gears that transfers engine torque to the wheels. It takes power from the engine and delivers it, allowing each wheel to rotate at a different speed on turns.
Vehicles such as chariots, wagons, and carriages still suffer from wheel slipping and dragging, resulting in damage to the wheels, axles, and roads. To prevent this from happening, a differential was invented.
Why Is Differential Needed?
The differential allows the steering wheels to turn at different speeds so the car can take turns without putting much pressure on tires. The inside wheels move in a short distance compared to the outer wheels.
If the axle does not allow the wheels to spin freely, the wheel of the tire will drag on the ground. Hence this is essential when the vehicle turns, causing the wheel to move outside the turning curve to roll further and faster than the other.

Happy Clients
This hasn't been the easiest journey but Jerry made it seamless. The first engine did not work for my daughter's car and we had to get a second engine. Jerry was with us every step of the way throughout the warranty process. The second engine worked perfectly, our daughter is in her own car and all is well with the world. I couldn't imagine going through this, 900 miles away from the company, with someone dodging my calls or avoiding me. Jerry stayed in constant contact and answered every question with confidence.

Good service in finding a 5.9 liter motor and arrange shipping. Received motor and installed. You only get the basic motor components, no power steering pump, no alternator, turbo. So make sure you secure all the components you need to install the motor. 3 year warranty is a nice plus also. I would use your service again. Thanks, Calvin.
