What options do I have to put in a Locking Diff on my 3500. If none, what is the best option?

Thanks,

Check out reiderracing.com. They have a lot of pretty good information about different brands of diffs and their applications. Good luck.

There isn't a locker for the rear yet as far as I know. I believe Eaton and arb make one for the front. or you can get the one that is in the power wagon for the front.

If your axle is Dana 80, Detroit makes a locker, but it is automatic, and I think ARB has one too. I settled for the Dana power loc, and if you rearrange the clutch pack, you can make it very aggressive. I can lift three wheels off the ground, and the one remaining wheel will pull the truck off the blocks.

no more dana's on 3rd gen's. all now are AAM...

That is what I thought, so included the big "if". Thanks.

tha amm axle takes a govloc you can get it for randys ring and pinion the carrier with bearings was about $582 just priced one for my 3500 cause i had a bearing go out @ 85k miles they use koyo bearings i opted to use timkin bearings it took a little while to cross them over but i think they will be worth it in the long run b.t.w the amm carrier is not serviceable so if something goes wrong with it you will have to be the whole thing

There's not much you can do right now. You can order the AAM limited slip from Randy's and put it in your self (Dealer quoted me $1200-1500 to put it in). There is no locker available today, but I'm told ARB is working on one as we speak. They only thing you can do is sit tight and play the waiting game.

The Dodge 'Power Wagon' (?) has lockers front and rear. Although it has a 10.5 in rear it does have the same 9.25in front axle so you could look into putting a selectable locker up front. You wouldn't want to use it for heavy loads but it should work very well otherwise as our trucks are very nose heavy.
