DARKSTAR OFFROAD LSD FAQs

Is the DSO Limited-Slip Differential Compatible With All Vans?

No; this part IS COMPATIBLE with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinters 2007-Current NCV3 and VS30 in both 2WD, AWD, and 4x4.

It is NOT COMPATIBLE with the 3500 DRW (Dually) or T1N Chassis Sprinters.

What If My Van Already Has 4WD or AWD?

Limited-slip differentials are made to compliment the 4x4 and AWD systems and make it way more capable in both on-road and off-road situations.

Does a LSD Installation Void My Factory Warranty?

Yes and no. Depending on the problem, some dealerships will be more lenient that others. It is not absolute. The LSD itself has a lifetime warranty, and the rest of the parts used in the installation are factory OEM Mercedes parts. Similarly, there's no electronic or user interface. The Mercedes computer will not throw any codes - it just senses that the van has more traction. Similarly, because there's no user interface - it does not need to be turned on/activated or turned off.

Does a LSD Change Ride Quality or Fuel Efficiency?

The limited-slip differential will enhance your off-road capabilities, and inspire more confidence in everyday driving situations. It will also make your camper van safer in rainy or snowy weather. It has no impact on tire wear or fuel efficiency.

Does a LSD Require Additional Maintenance?

No. Similarly, there is no break-in period or friction additives necessary. The Traction Boost Limited-Slip Differential uses the factory OEM differential fluid, and maintains the factory service intervals.

Does the LSD Have to Be Installed at DarkStar Offroad in Utah?
