With a 2 wheel drive truck you definitely need a locker, and not a LSD. I personally would put a Detroit Locker in that truck, and be done with it. But that is just because I have had Detroits in trucks, and ARBs, and I prefer the simplicity and reliability of a Detroit in the back of a truck.

 

Just my .02 (and few years spent off roading) if all other factors are equal, a 2wd vehicle with a rear locker can be as or more capable than some 4 wds with open diffs or even a rear LSD.

BTW, "Posi" or "Positraction" is a GM term for a clutch type limited slip differential found in early muscle cars. Its a common misnomer.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll start my search and saving for a locker!

 

gorgeous truck btw

 

yeah your truck looks awesome.

 

thanks for the compliments. I've wanted a dodge for awhile and last year started working from home. When gas prices jumped I decided to buy and was able to get a good deal on this one used. And now when I do have to drive in traffic its a better feeling than being in my maxima.

 

wow, so i just talked to my local dealer to find out how much the factory LSD cost and its 739.99. THATS CRAZY!!!

 

Installed right?

 

no, JUST parts

 

That is crazy!

Here are some Ebay results. I just went through quickly and I am not sure if these even fit. There are more results along with some ring and pinions too.
