You could put in a air locker but they are $$$. It will lock with a flick of a switch.

Does the ram rearend need the synthetic or can I use a dino oil. My front diff calls for a 75w-90 dino oil. Why does my manual call for synthetic in the rear and nonsynthetic in the front?

Thanks,
The DTT manual states Dino oil. My installer used synthetic also and I haven't had a problem either. There's a bunch of research on the internet with a few references to engineers, but it is getting harder to find straight Dino oil.

I've got True Tracs front and rear in my 1500 4x4 truck and am very happy with them. The truck is a beast in the snow. I had to dig a little to find straight dino gear oil, but it wasn't too difficult. When you do find it, stock up a little bit (get enough for an additional complete gear oil change).
