I recently purchased a 2014 RAM 2500 Tradesman 4x4 Crew cab. Afterwards, I realized it did not have a anti spin rear diff, instead it has front and rear open differentials. After reading a BUNCH of different threads and sites, and getting no response from RAM, I figured I would ask here.
My truck DOES have traction control per the build sheet. So, my questions are:
1) Do ALL 2500's (or those with traction control) have the Break Locking Differentials (i.e. using the ABS to transfer torque to non-slipping tire).
2) Does the BLD work for FRONT and REAR similar to the Jeep Wranglers?
If you have had any experience with the BLD in snow, sand or mud, I would love to hear about it. I have heard that an open diff with BLD, and traction control will handle just as good (if not better) than anti-spin in snow, sand, mud. Eventually I want to get the ARB air lockers, but don't want to kill gas mileage or towing capabilities just yet.
