GMC Canyon Differential is an assembly found in the vehicle's drive train system whereby engine power is split to the drive wheels to allow for smooth turn and to enable the car to move over rough terrains. Certain types of limited slip differentials are exceptionally applied in today's cars to ensure that the wheels can rotate at discrete speeds when the car is turning. The open diff divides the power in a ratio of 50/50 between the two wheels and the LSD divides torque in the ration of 90/10 or even 70/30, depending on the level of slip. Nonetheless, both types have their disadvantages: for the open diff it is slippage on a slippery surface, for LSD- it is losing traction when starting on a slick road. Simple routine inspections like listening for a tapping or knocking sound and inspecting the fluid levels are very important as they help in the longevity of the differential hence reducing the chances of a very expensive repair. Other performance differential such as the limited slip differential can also improve grip and road handling on any type of terrain, and thus are worthy additions to the GMC Canyon.
