GMC Sonoma Differential
The GMC Sonoma vehicles have an application of a Differential as a component part in the drive train; this maintains different speeds for the drive wheels. This functionality is crucial especially on rough terrains so that cornering and traction is well handled. Since the production of the Sonoma, various types of differentials have been used: the open differential and the limited-slip differential. The open type of differential provides equal amounts of torque to the wheels, which is not ideal especially when providing power to the ground that is slipperier. The LSD on the other hand offers better performance because it permits varying levels of torque distribution, to the wheel with most grip, though on slippery surfaces it may have a tough time during acceleration at start off. Furthermore, the GMC Sonoma can use additional differentials the active differentials that improve the torque's distribution and handling. Thus, any of the stated differential types is noticed to have its benefits and demerits that affect the vehicle's performance as well as experience that drivers have while using their cars.
