Straight to the subject - this is my first Dodge.and the first time I've ever experienced this type problem. The build sheet for this van indicates it has a DRG rear axle 9.25 Corporate HD. I don't claim to know what that is exactly but someone of you probably do. When I get off the pavement and the weight gets shifted off the right rear wheel even a little the tire loses traction and just spins causing me to have to jockey the vehicle around to get to a point where I get traction. It's not a good feeling when trying to get on the highway from a dirt road for instance. In the literature there is a Spicer 60HD and references to anti spin differentials. So, I'm not asking someone to know what I need for my particular solution but whether or not I am looking at a potential solution to my loss of traction? By choosing a differential swap? And - if by chance you are totally familiar with this solution and want to give advice I'd be thrilled to hear .

 

Put some variety of traction adder in there, and you'll be set. The Detroit true-trak works fairly well, and no clutches... so, it never wears out.

Another option would be..... better tires.....

 

HeyYou, yep, better tires are in my future for sure. But traction adder sounds like something within my budget. What is it and where do I research it?

UPDATE: I just found a site and am reading traction adder is a bit beyond my beginner status. I'll go for changing to some AT3's for now. Thanks.

 

There is also the 'lunchbox locker'. It just replaces the spider gears in the rear diff, and most of the time, you don't have to pull the diff to install it. Relatively inexpensive as well.
