A friend of mine, who is a self-proclaimed car know it all and I have been having a more than loud discussion about my truck and it's Anti-Slip Differential. One party says it's the same thing as the LSD and one says it's a completely different thing so to end the fight. Is Anti-Slip Differential, LSD?
I know trucks inside out but when it comes to gears I'm SOL
The dodge anti slip rear has an issue w/ the c clips which can cause the whole rear end to grenade. Some have issues, some don't, it's a toss up, but the 3.92's are pretty much the best gear you could hope for from the factory.
There have been guys who have posted pics of their diff's basically imploding. The diff shell basically gets deformed and cracks and breaks to the point of needing a new one. If you ever replace the LSD, I'd recommend Detroit TruTrac or Auburn. You could upgrade to different gears but 4.10's won't give you much of an increase over what you have and 4.56 is a bit overkill for a stock height truck.
