Can and LSD or even some type of locker like I have on my chevy made by richmond gears..forget the name, sure trac or somethinglike that rear end be put into a 4x4 without putting the same into the front on the 09 RAM

 

Sure. There is no reason you have to run a locker or LSD in both axles.

 

dont do it 72combo!! lol. i have a sport 4x4 with 3.55. so i have thought about it many times. but in all reality, it handles just fine in deep snow etc.... (city driving)


the one guy on here had a nightmare exp. changing out gears etc...

 

Swapping the carrier, like in this case going from an open to lsd or locker is a lot simpler than setting up a new ring and pinion. It's something I wish I knew before I went through a couple sets of gears.

 

A little bit. They don't have to reset the pinion, but the new carrier/locker still needs to be shimmed properly especially since there is already a pattern on the gears.

 

If I was doing it all again I would have just done the carrier swap on my truck b/c regearing became such a PITA.

 

Look at the Lock Right lockers. They only replace the spider gears. If you have an open carrier or no LSD then usually it is easier.

Do the rear only. The front would not be a good option on the street.

 

I find the rear end in my chevy does makes some noise on occasion but when I put that thing it was like a new truck.
I am worried about how the MDS will act.
These things are so easy to put it, it's literally a 15 minute job after you get the cover off the diff and drain the fluid.
Do these dodges work like the chevs just take out the pin push in the axles and the u clip falls out the axle can be pulled out at this point if you want? If so once you assemble the unit with spring and grease in it goes. I will wait a few years maybe lets see if these rear ends act up or the MDS
Just have to record which washers, spaces whatever came from which side.

 

how would a lsd or locker effect the mds ?

 

It won't
