Torque biasing differentials have no clutches to wear out, and should last as long as a standard open differential. DC is using the Quaife brand units in the SRT-4 and I believe they also use them in the Viper. I have heard chatter on the board of people having problems, but I really think it is caused from improper additives, as the torque biasing differential is not a LSD you should not add any LSD additives, or use gear oil with the additives already in it. In the owners manual it recommends "GL-5 SAE 75W-90 Synthetic. Limited-Slip AAM Rear Axles DO NOT REQUIRE a limited slip additive.”
