DIFFERENT Question About Gears
I am having 4.56 gears installed in my truck, with 285/75/16 tires in a few weeks. My truck does not have a limited slip rear, and I don't really have the money for that too. Everyone I've talked to says I should have no problem roasting the tires. that's not what I'm planning on doing, but my question is: what about in the snow? Am I doing to have to be in 4 wheel drive even in the littlest bit of slippery stuff? My truck as it is with the 3.55's does pretty good in the snow even in 2wd, and I don't want to have to keep it in 4x4 in the slightest bit of snow because of the new gears. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For once I would have to agree with Max. I would wait. The stock diff is a POS. The clips break off and you gotta tear in there to replace it. Do it once. Even if you just get a posi or something. If you off road a lot look into something for that but if its mostly road a posi or better lsd would be fine.

At least $400.00 This website goes onto some details. ( http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Market...ials/index.htm ) A locker will push u around a lot. there nothing like a lsd the gears inside a locker are locked all the time. A lsd will allow one wheel to spine fast and one slower when turning.
