Do Ram 1500 have limited slip differential?

And for the first time ever in a production Ram 1500, an electronic locking rear differential is available. It’s also worth noting that the outstanding traction-enhancing Anti-Spin limited-slip differential is still available on most models.

What is the Ram anti spin differential rear axle?

What is the Ram anti-spin differential rear axle? This is a mechanical device that’s engineered to maximize traction in the rear wheels. The anti-spin differential axle ensures that the rear wheels roll at the same speeds on slippery surfaces.

Is a 3.92 rear axle ratio good?

But opt for the higher 3.92 axle ratio and that same truck packs a higher towing capacity of 9,930 pounds. A higher axle ratio (like the 3.92 we mentioned earlier) will allow for higher towing capability, but it requires higher engine rpm for any given speed and then results in lower fuel economy.

Is the conventional rear axle on a Dodge Challenger?

I assumed the R/T on up had a limited slip differential or locking rear axle. Did Dodge drop the ball on this because it seems to me the conventional rear axle would definitely affect 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times because you will not get as much traction.

What are the differentials for a Dodge Ram 1500?

Dodge Ram 1500 Differentials The search for the perfect Dodge Ram differential carriers ends here. These differential carriers help shift torque to the wheel that has the most traction to create a safer ride on any surface. The balanced torque provides a smoother ride with the weight distributed across the truck.

What kind of differential does a Dodge Challenger 5.7L have?

From what I’ve seen, the 5.7L pared with an automatic transmission comes standard with an open differential. There is an option to have a Getrag LSD installed in these cars at the factory. The 5.7L with a 6 speed comes standard with the Getrag LSD.
