After doin a bit of online research, maybe I should rewrite my orginal post.
So, here's a post I recently did on another site:
------------------------------------
"I don't know whether I have limited slip or not. Since I've had the truck,
it seems only one wheel (passenger side rear) does anything. It breaks loose
often, and when it does, the truck sits there and does not seem to engage
the other rear tire.
With this in mind I have seriously been thinkin about changing the rear-end
to a limited slip. Would this also change the gears?..actually I don't know
what my current gears are??...my guess is the 3.55...but how can I confirm
any of this, and confirm whether or not I have limited slip. If the gears
get changed in the process, my goal would be to get a 3.92 limited slip
rear? Can this be done by anyone OTHER than the dealer to save some money?
Keep in mind I know very little about this subject and am assuming for daily
road driving and driving in slippery conditions (rain, snow, ice), limited
slip is better than one-wheel drive (I don't know what else to call it) or
"locked" (both wheels all the time). And that the higher ratio will give me
better performance.
I've read several threads on this subject, but in a nutshell, I'm gonna have
a shop or the dealer do the work, so I just need to know what I currently
have, what I am going to replace it with, and how much I should expect to
pay. Not too much to ask :-)
Your help is appreciated. "
------------------------------------
I plan to get this work done soon...say in the next 2 weeks. Thanks DMLers
in advance.
