That's the only vehicle left with that option. Durango and Dakota are back
to the 8.25". At the dealership, the 9.25" series diff's (even on the new
1500's) were being changed/repaired on a daily basis. Never saw one 8.25"
for repair - even on the older 318 Dakota's.
It's too problematic and eats itself up at the carrier and pinion bearings.

BTW: Funny thing with Mopar - they got rid of the 9.25" on the newer
vehicles and are using the 8.25" unit. Better life, less problems, and
actually just as strong. :)

I researched it, and word on the street is the Auburns wear out quickly for
my application. I saw quotes from 6months to 6runs (2days).
Has anyone modified the stock LSD? I've heard you can add clutch plates to
stiffen/strengthen/lengthen life.
