Default No Posi in the Rumble Bee?

My dad was going to buy a yellow Rumble Bee yesterday but when he was looking over the options and stuff he fund out that it doesn't have posi-track. He asked if they could order one with it and they said that Dodge didn't make any Rumble Bees with posi. Why make a performance truck without that?

Isn't posi-track just a fancy name for limited slip differential?

i thought posi traction was that no matter wut one wheel was doin wether it was on pavement or on ice the other moved the same speed and when it went arouind corners one wud chirp or squeel beacuse it was going a shorter distance but moved at the same speed but i wud think it wud come with it

Posi-trak is a trade name for limited slip. They are all limited slip no matter what the name.

Until you start talking about lockers, those are the ones that will squeal the inside tire on cornering. Axle are locked together as one.

Limited still still always for differential tire speeds while still putting drive power against both axles, buy using spring pressure on the spider gears.

They have 20" tires, which means you get the 3.92 rear end.....they have LSD, which is Posi.

I don't think the RumbleBee is considered a performance truck, just a special edition.

I am pretty sure it has limited slip, maybe your Dad just doesn't know exactly what he is looking at.

*quick runs out to my bee to do a burnout* - Yep! Two tires! It has a posi!!

lmao...

Yes, SOME bee's do not have the posi. I beleive that ALL 4x4's have them, and most 2wds have them. You best bet is to find a different Bee.
