I unfortunately had the dubius pleasure of opening my pumpkin, to find all of this.
Once seen.........NEVER forgotten.
I have also since having the truck, regulary maintained the diff's using the 15000 mile service interval suggested in the manual, as I do not tow or "get on it" in any great way at all.
So I for one am EXTREMELY dissapointed with the stock Dodge LSD.
My own gear man also stated just what a poor design the stock LSD is as well.
Just my input and personal experience of this problem.
Take from it what you will. It's as I stated earlier, it's not if the diff will let go.........rather when.

I had no clue of the problem with the factory one at the time. So, like I say, I was just lucky, I guess...

Cheers Hammer.
You certainly were lucky, my friend.
Have a look at another thread currently running on here, by a fellow member called Weedahoe, entitled "Changing my diff fluid today? To pull or not to pull retaining clips out??? "
His comments certainly bear out my own.
