Hi, I just bought a 97 2500 with 196K miles.. It runs great, put new front shocks on it, now it rides great too... The rear end is open, one wheel pulls only.. How involved is it to install a posi-trac ? I have installed one in my Jeep before, but didnt like it because the ratchet lock made some popping noises at times on hard pavement.
thanks

 

You'll need to come up with a Dana 70 TrakLok rear gear set. Try DTR member RedlineAR, who also sells on ebay under that name. He runs a Dodge-Cummins wrecking yard in Hartman, Arkansas

If a posi makes popping sounds on pavement generally you need to add some friction modifier.

 

Robert,, tnx for the reply..the 97 is my first diesel, my son has 3, a 96 2500, a 97 3500, and a 2011 3500.. I'm a chevy and dodge guy, had a couple of fords, just never cared much for them.. got a 2008 Colorado 4wd with winch.
tnx again. i will check on ebay site.

 

If you are a car-guy this will not be your last Dodge/Cummins!!

 

Not a car guy for sure.. i had a 73 dodge power waon, the bed rusted off, put on a flat bed, its in Mexico now hauling tacos. Had 3-4 Jeeps, with winches and posi-tracs..now have a 2008 chev colorado 4wd and warn winch.. just bought the 97 dodge after my daughter wrecked her 1500 chev silverado the night before she graduated.. still waiting to see if its totalled out or not by Allstate. Im leaving in 2 hours , driving the dodge to Uvalde Texas to the Big Game Awards this Saturday..
tnx.. glad to hear from u.
