Tech Question
brian copley, milton, WV, 84 dodge ramcharger 4x4 318
First, your mag is the only Mopar mag out there with good tech, humor, and great features. Now the question:
Maybe I am ignorant of what's going on here, but on my 4x4 with aggresive 36" tall tires my Sure Grip diff. is sometimes not so sure. When needed the most (i.e. i'm stuck) it will send all the power to the spinning wheel, like an open diff, not the one with the traction. I don't remember having this problem in the past, so what is going on here? Thanx for any help. By the way, I think the diff is from the 90's.
Brian, remember, it's a LIMITED slip diff, not a locker! And, as they age, the amount of slip increases. If yours is about, say, 10 years old, that typically equals 120,000 miles, which equals WORN OUT.
If you're doing serious off roading, something like an air locker, TorSen, or Detroit Locker (this one's not for street) might be a better choice. Otherwise, a rebuild clutch-type sure grip, shimmed up tighter than normal, might fill the bill.
