I have a $325 option Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle on my 2007 Ram Quad
Cab. Is this the Notorious C clip dropper LDS? Thnk you

 

Yes, yes it is, although it's supposed to have sturdier clips than previous models, there are still '07+ guys who have had the issue.

and for a better understanding of limited slip:

Thank you for your reply. I just hope when I punch it I don't hear snap, crackle and pop noises. Have you ever snapped floored a truck and snapped an axle? It is a nasty loud noise not to mention a bit embarrasing. If I can avoid this from happening I'd like to, then of course I could hope for "gee what is that noise" as it grinds to a halt. Again, Thanks for the reply.

 

i havent had and issue with my LSD in my 07.. would it be a good idea to have it replaced with a auburn or eaton set up? i dont want to have it brake and take my gears out.. thats more money.

 

Even though the clips are supposedly stouter, I have never been impressed by a Chrysler LSD, most often to get it to even engage you have to apply a slight amount of brake or e-brake and even then the bias is relatively low, so you'll still get a lot of "one wheel peels".
If it's in the budget, get you an Auburn or DTT...

 

Just service the diffs regularly using mopar synthetic fluid and mopar limited slip additive. The earlier models recommended every 15,000 miles, but they changed that around 07' I think. Check your manual. My 02 has 150,000 with no problems. Regular maintenance goes a long way!

 

If you are the original owner and have 150,000 miles on the original stock LSD WITHOUT breaking a clip, congratulations, because I believe you'd be about the only one!

Regular maintenance is imperative with everything, including the differentials but the clips are a design flaw and changing fluids with or without additive has NOTHING to do with the clips breaking.

 

I know mine were founds broken around 60k but there is not telling how long they have been broken already and sitting in there.

 

Changing the fluid w/o using additive definitely will cause this problem worse. With no additive it causes the clutches to chatter when turning and gives additional wear.

 

I just turned 170k on my 02 and the rear end is still spinning strong and i have never changed the fluid..... i have thought about it recently though . Knock on wood "knock knock"
