stay away from the locker. only used in the dirt or sand. you wont like it on the street. they tend to pull to one side. just go to dodge and ask for a corporate rear for your year truck. corporate is the posi set up when the tires spin. not that one legger stuff

Hmm, my build sheet lists my 9.25" as a "Corporate" axle, and it is a professional one-legger. I think the LSD's are called Anti-Spin Differentials in the build sheets. They are also supposed to be highly susceptible to failure, search "C-Clip" in the 1500 Ram forums. I would stay away from a factory LSD. Google and see what you like. The Detroit Truetrac seems like a pretty solid and wear-proof unit.

I don't know what you guys are talking about when refering to corporate. My truck came with the Dodge posi rear-end...I believe the factory posi is a quality product. The limited slip units are low rent. I have heard horror stories about aftermarket lockers for street use. If it's a dirt truck, by all means get a locker.

if your sht says corporate and only one tire spins then it is either a misprint or your housing is busted. my corporate leaves two very nice blk strips when i take off. might want to take a look into it
