Hi.

I was just wondering what exactly came on the factory tow package. I am really starting to think I have it on my truck. My truck has a power steering cooler, the factory transmission cooler, an anti-spin differential, and a hitch which i also believe is factory. Is there a way to evaluate my vin to find out all the specs on my truck? Thanks for the help

 

There's no way someone that doesn't work at Chrysler can just pull it from your vin. You can go to this link: http://www-5.dodge.com/wccsapp/unive...ull&category=R and request a build sheet though.

Anti-spin differential wasn't part of the towing package. Reciever, aux. transmission cooler, and trans temp. warning light were though.

 

Okay thanks.

What about that power steering cooler?

I believe I have the trans temp warning light. Im pretty sure ive seen it light up when the truck is turned on.

Any idea why there would be a factory limited slip on a 2wd? The one time I got stuck it didnt really do anything

Thanks

 

3.73 gears was an option as well

more than half of the 1/2 tons have the factory "trash lok" differential.

 

What's wrong with a limited slip on a 2WD? I special ordered my '01 with limited slip and 4-wheel ABS. I drive a lot from SoCal back home to Spokane, WA. The limited slip has come in handy more than once in deep snow and one time at a wildlife refuge where I got myself in about 6 inches of mud trying to turn around in an adjacent rice paddy, I was able to back right out. Couldn't have done it without the limited slip. The 4-wheel ABS has helped on the lovely snow and ice on more than one trip through the area in the winter.

Follow TBR's advice and get a build sheet. Lots of good info on it.
