nope...just a one wheeler squealer here
i went to a local dodge dealership here in town and i ran my vin ans i got a sheet that shows EVERY option my truck came with from the factory...
and it says a 3:55 gears axle ration and it dosent say anythign about a limited differential.....so i take it my truck has a open rear??
it also says 9.25 LD Rear Axle....whats that?
11x2 rear drum...
...and i think thats about it.......
i was wanting to upgrade to a limited since i willl be converting to a manual trans here sooner or later...and that meens a better hook up
what would i need to do?

With an open diff i don't see you having it wear out unless you actually have a problem with it.
To change to a limited slip you would have to regear the entire essentially. Shim it, ect..
best bet would be to find a limited slip axle, replace the clutches yourself (150 about for parts up here for my dana 60 is was (never did it though)) but it's just a pin, you hammer out, than knock another pin, spin the gears and it will fall out with the LIMITED slip packs.
