Hey I'm Jay and finally decided to join the forum after finding lots answers to my problems on here I also have a question for anyone in this forum that could help. I have noticed real bad wheel hop with my truck. I really noticed it today when i took it out in the snow and starting from a dead stop i got wheel hop while slowly creeping forward. I have not really matted it because of this wheel hop. I also read on another post that weight in the bed might help, so i loaded my bed with heavy wet snow, and have still noticed wheel hop, This wheel hop is happening on dry pavement as well as snowy roads. I have thought it could be the struts or the leafs are shot. If anyone could help me with this it would be highly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the third generation Ram section,

wheel hop when going really slow means something is really f'd. is this when you are in 4WD?

 

I was just gonna ask about the 4wd.

 

maybe someone pulled a GotHemi44 on it and just replaced one set of gears.

 

It happens in 2wd. I have not really noticed it in 4wheel. It came from the factory with 3.92 gears and L.S.D.

 

Maybe the LSD is committing suicide?

 

welcome to the forum jay...youll like it here....jay

 

welcome to the forum, im not much help but i sure do appreciate all the info ive gotten on this site.

 

I thought it might be the lsd, it doesnt do it all the time. But on of my friends drives a f150 reg cab short bed with V8 and 5spd 4x4 and a few months ago the rearend went along with the transfer case. The shop called ford engineers and had never heard of something like that happening to a stock truck with a Detroit LSD. I just hope its not the lsd i love the traction it has, but still cant beat a locker, but better that open diff any day
