Is there any way I can tell if my rear diff. on my 04 dakota SLT 4X4 is a limited slip diff? I plan on changing the fluid and the manual states if it's limited slip then I have to add 4oz of this special fluid.
Thanks

 

Two ways I can think of.

1) Place one rear tire in mud/snow
2) Place on rear tire on the road
3) Floor it... if the muddy tires spins you don't have LSD

or

1) Find a parking lot after it rains
2) Apply brakes
3) Apply gas
4) If you get a one tire fire, you don't have LSD

I thought it said somewhere on your door jam?

 

^ hahaha... or u can look in your glove box on the write up sheet

 

Yeah I have the one wheel peel out, i hate it.

 

yea dont go by the peel out cuz i did one the other day and it was only a one legger but i hvae a limited slip either check your glove box or request your build sheet here http://www-5.dodge.com/wccsapp/unive...amp;category=R

 

if you have limited slip but you only do a one wheeler then your clutch packs are worn out. mine did the same and after I got the rearend rebuilt it was back to 2 wheels.

 

I am going to check that tonight. If I have the limited slip then I guess something is busted. Time to call 1-800-WarrantyGuy

 

im actually not sure if it did one or two it was jsut a little one in first haha my first one with the new truck by the way and when i went back it was really light and i could only see a really light one legger but im guessing there was another one that just didnt show up because i sure as hell went sideways the other day when i barely stepped on it.

 

NICE LINK!! I requested my truck's build sheet last night, and just got it e-mailed to me!
On the LSD thing, my sheet lists my truck as having an "Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle". What the heck is that??

 

you have limited slip then
