It seems to me, with 118k on the truck, it's either WORN OUT BAD, or it's an open (that would be sucky..)

if i turn one wheel slowly, the other wheel will follow in the same direction, or sometimes not at all...i know usually an open diff turns them opposite, correct?

i took the #'s off the tag..

52070235
3 54 605792


i know the 3.54 part, and the 605792 means it's a Dana 80 from a 96 1/2 2500 ( i looked it up at DANA.com ..build sheet)

any thoughts? if not, i guess i'll have to crack into the case, and maybe get lucky and order me up some clutches.

thanks in advance!

Check the tag on the underside of the hood near the latch. Should tell you anti-spin or not. PS I think 94-95 2500 manuals have 80's and 96+ 3500's only have them. Dosent say in your sig what you have...

Another way is to take your VIN#, call the dealer, they will be able to tell you.

 

it's an 80...all manual trucks have 80's auto's have 70's...

duallys are all 80's..

OR...go to dealer...with VIN # and ask for a "Build Sheet". It's free and will list all options on your truck, as it came from the factory.

Good Luck

I second that.

that sounds like a plan...thanks!!!

manuals have 80's, auto 70's and 3500= 80's
