Rob,
When I purchased my '97 Dakota in April it came with a 3.92
Open Case Differential. I also had a severe traction problem,
especially in the wet weather.
My Dakota is a 4x2 V8 automatic. It has a 8 1/4 rear axle.
I had the Dana PowerLoc (SureGrip) installed by a professional
shop in the Detroit Metro Area. The total cost was $436.00.
Completely changed my trucks attitude. Love it, but be
careful jumping on the gas in a corner or you w i l l do circles.
Don't think I would attempt installing yourself unless you have experience,
and special tools.
