So... I am pretty sure I have an issue.
A little back story...
When I got the truck, the limited slip was iffy at best. it would lock in every now and then. the dealer fixed it saying it was a c-clip or something.
Well... It is doing the same thing now. Today when I pulled out of a parking lot for work, I spun 1 tire. 1 TIRE! I wasnt even trying to "spin". I just gave it gas like normal.
SO......... I am 100% sure I dont want to put mopar back in to fix it.
My issue is this. I dont really know enough about this stuff to make it happen myself. I have a family friend who will do the work pretty cheap... (I mean under 200 for labor) but I have to get the parts.
I am wondering if something like this is all I need...

I know lube... I am just trying to figure out how much of this check is going to fix my rear end...
I am hoping I can pull it off for under 550-600 ish... if not, i might be 1 wheelin' it tll tax money shows up.

For another 100.00 you can get the Detroit True Trac. No clutches to wear out, so no lsd additive. When I did my gear upgrade I wanted to upgrade the lsd too, the stock Danas are pretty iffy and a lot of people have had c-clip failures with them. The Auburns are good too and a lot of people have them and like them but I just liked the idea of clutch less.

I have a friend with a True Trac in a Ram. He loves it. The helical gear design is cool as $h!t. It is definitely a braggin rights piece. I'd save a few more bones and go for it. You can probably do it yourself and save the $200.

ahh dont sweat it man, if he can do the labor for 200 I would let him do it. I think the hardest part would be shimming it and adjusting. I would also go with the Detroit... some of my jeep buddies praise it

Consider that differential your trucks new set of *****...and throw away the ones that hang from your hitch. You guys all seem pretty cool and intelligent. Please don't ever let me see another picture of hitch *****, they are worse than product stickers
