Which route did you guys go? Did you get a complete front QE diff assembly(housing & everything) for a 2013 Limited Commander or did you buy the QE carrier only & install it in factory mav housing? If you used a complete Limited Commander housing is the gear ratio the same as the Mav? I assume so, just curious. Also are there any other parts needed besides P/S?

I pulled the whole diff a few days ago, opened it up and swapped internals. No prob and SO much easier with the Mav. I took some pics and planned to do a small how to with pics. Same all can am front diffs

Ready to see that write up

 

[SickStick]

Cool, looking forward to seeing it. Either way, its no problem for me. I assume it's alot cheaper with just the carrier. Have you got P/s on yours yet?

Just ordered it but won't need it until I get a new front axle

Looking forward to your write up. Picking mine up tomorrow. Will likely be doing the diff swap and power steering install this weekend.

I'll get it done this afternoon

I have been reading a lot on here and just gathering information. Waiting till next years model before buying a Maverick but I saw this recently uploaded video on YouTube. I know everyone has guessed at the number of rotations of the Visco-Lok to engage. I know he wasn't always giving it gas but it should've still engaged more in my opinion.

Noob here... Whats the QE swap? Is it some sort of front locker or LSD upgrade?

Myron the visco loc is a LSD that takes about 7 revs to lock up. The qe locks up at a half turn. It is important if you mud ride or like to climb stuff. If you are not into that kinda stuff I wouldn't bother with it

Ive got mine(QE) sitting here just going to wait to install it until I get my P/S unit. Now I see Wicked built has one, which is the better P/S unit SuperATV's or Wicked Built & why?

For those of you looking to get a QE full diff or just Internals shoot me a PM so I can get you a Quote!

 

[Myron]

I'm not really into mud. but I do like to crawl around the rocks.. question is, if I engage the front diff a little before the obsticle, I should be fine right? How much is the QE upgrade?

 

[Driller77]

Your tire has to loose traction for 7 revs before your regular visco loc will lock. If you get the qe it has to loose traction for a half turn and will lock up. U can find qe diffs on eBay occasionally but there is no guarantee of the condition. If you buy new then the vendor above sells them at a good price. If you just want the internals it's much cheaper. I did a how to on a qe diff swap it's in the how to section, not very hard.

 

[Myron]

Gotcha... I'm prolly not going to worry about it for now..

 

[SickStick]

If you like crawling, your going to want to do a QE upgrade.
