I have the factory LSD Mopar No-slip and so far its lasted 208000mi + still going strong but id much rather have what crazy's got just so I don't have to worry about the clutch packs.

One way to see if you have the factory no slip is the under hood label and the other way is just to jack up the rearend and spin the tires if the tires spin in same direction you have the LSD.

 

i have an open diff (no locker or limited slip of any kind), but i can spin both tires. it just means you don't have traction on either side, mud, gravel, wet pavement, etc. it's not as bad as you think to install a locker, but i saw your picture and i heard that a 2x4 with a locker is hard to handle in the snow or wet conditions around turns, takes gettin used to. i would stick to the limited slip or an air locker.

by the way fox an air locker would be the way to go on that rig, push a button and your locked for off road, push another button and you got an open diff for the highway, just gotta drill a small hole in the rear housing and put a tiny compressor under the hood. first time i've seen the truck scince sept. 08, nice job.

p.s. if your anywhere close to Winnipeg you only get 3 weeks a year without snow, so i would stick to a limited slip. (god ya gotta hate maritimers)

 

That is correct information, but to add to it, a locker takes getting used to around a turn in any driving condition, including dry pavement. A locker will only unlock when there is little to no torque transfer going through it (meaning your foot is not heavy on the gas), so you cannot accelerate hard through a turn. A limited slip differential will give you a little more freedom on accelerating through a turn on dry pavement, but the more torque transfer going through it, the more it will lock up, so you still have to be lighter on the gas than with an open diff. I have a limited slip diff in my truck and I've had it lock up on me through a turn and drag one tire. On snow, ice, or wet roads, both of them will kick the back end of the truck out with enough gas.

 

i know. but thats what makes it fun! i love when my truck goes sideways, and im good at it too. you guys gotta remember, i live in winterpeg, where its always snowy. and my back tires are bald. i havent driven my truck straight all winter. it gets to be a pain sometimes, but other times its fun, and come summer, if i had a locker in the back, man..... thats all i can say

 

LOL, I never said it was a bad thing! I love driving sideways too. It sucks though cause I just got tires put on the truck back in January and I want them to last, so I haven't spun them once.

 

Money talks man lol and right now it ain't talkin to me. Id love to put in a detroit air locker but when an air locker is almost $800 its gonna be a while. What im working on now is getting roller rockers
