dodge recommends using synthetic oil in the differential for heavy hauling. all the force to move the truck forward goes through the differential. synthetic can only help. my next oil change will have sythetic put in the diff. synthetic oil lasts longer and protects better. .

put the truck in park block the front tires. jack the back tires off the ground give the wheel a spin with your hand. if the wheel on the other side spins in the opposite direction freely then its open if its hard to spin then its a lsd im going to do some more work tomorrow and im trying to find out if my truck has limited slip. i want to change the diff. fluid and the transfer case fluids. also what fluids do you recommend id like to use synthetic for the transfer case and the differentials on a 1996 dodge ram 2500 4x4 ndo .

if its in park you wont be able to turn a wheel with limited slip. put it in neutral or put transfer case in neutral. put the truck in park block the front tires. jack the back tires off the ground give the wheel a spin with your hand. if the wheel on the other side spins in the opposite direction freely then its open if its hard to spin then its a lsd im going to do some more work tomorrow and im trying to find out if my truck has limited slip. i want to change the diff. fluid and the transfer case fluids. also what fluids do you recommend id like to use synthetic for the transfer case and the differentials on a 1996 dodge ram 2500 4x4 ndo --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.688 / virus database 449 - release date 5/18/2004 .
