 Subject: Do I have limited slip?
IP: Logged
Message:
I am having my front and rear gear oil changed on my 2000 quadcab, which brings up the question of whether I have limited slip and therefore need the additive. I have a computer printout from a dodge dealer which describes my rear axel as:
"DRBP Axle-Rear, Corporate 9.25 LD"
Does the LD stand for "Limited-slip Differential"? or would that be LSD or some other description.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I believe the LD stands for Light Duty.

Check your rear end tag.
When you get on it, does one tire spin or both?

Well, jag, I don't know. I am usually inside the truck and unable to see the tires ;) I am just an old fart at 47 and don't tend to "get on it" in a truck. That's what sports cars... and muscle cars... are for.

TO check for a LSD, get both tires up in the air, you can do this front or rear, or all at the same time, (easy to do when you're getting tires put on, for others out there...)Safety First!! THE TIRES on the ground should secured as to prevent the truck from rolling.... put the truck in park for autos, or in gear for manuals, and try to spin one of the tires in the air. IF the opposite side spins the same way or is difficult to move, its a LSD (or a detroit locker, not likely from factory), if it goes the opposite way, and moves easily, its an open diff.
outside of your wallet, the additive won't hurt anything in an open diff, so if in doubt, use it.

Unless some one changed the rear end,
It says it on the Tag in the glove box. If no LSD, it ain't got it.
You really don't need it usually, but I'm Glad I ordered mine with it!

mine says it in the glove box, and it says "Trac Lok" on the axle tube.
my glove box sticker says "Axle-Rear, Corporate 9.25 Anti Spin"
And I can leave some nice BLACK marks with it too :-)

Thanks everyone for the help. I have concluded that I do NOT have LSD (or any other drugs for that matter {grin}). Since you were all so good on that one, what are everyones thoughts for replacing my stock heavy duty shocks. The truck is a 2000 4x4 QC with 4.7 auto. The truck's printout says it has "tire and handling group", "suspension - heavy duty", shock absorbers - heavy duty front and rear, and stabilizer bar - front and rear and has a 1450 payload rating.
Reviewing other posts seemed to lead to Monroe Reflex, Edelbrock IAS and Billstein with a few comments on some others. What I couldn't seem to get out of these posts was whether these were recommended for 2x4 or 4x4 trucks and whether these were in the "heavy duty" catagory or would reduce the payload capacity.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dave Hall
