Thanks for the info. First, what I know: P4529273 is the number on
the moparperformance.com site for a (quote)
SURE-GRIP DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY

including instruction sheet for high performance applications.

All 8-1/4" (endquote).
>From your post, it sounds like I have the LSD for a later Dakota and
it won't work on mine (regardless of the rear anti-lock status). Is
that what you meant by:
> Part Number 52068451 is the Dana TracLoc case for the 1994 thru 1996
Dakota (8 1/4). It is used with RWAL (Rear Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes).
> Part Number 4384285 is the PowerLoc case for the 1989 thru 1993
Dakota. It is also used with RWAL.
I haven't counted splines yet, either, but I thought I read somewhere
the Dodge part has 27 and the Dana 31 - true? Is there a functional
difference between the TracLoc and the PowerLoc?
One last query: > . . . Assuming you use the correct case, . . ." are
you referring to the differential carrier, or the rear axle housing
(pumpkin) that houses it?
. . . I would highly suggest you have a highly qualified axle
technician perform the switch. . . .
That was a foregone conclusion; it's obvious I'm in over my head!
