1 tire fire

Morganstruck · Feb 9, 2016

Ok, the other day I street raced my co-worker form a dead stop. When I took off I was spinning like crazy! Looked in the rear view mirror and only seen tire smoke coming from the right rear tire? My truck is an '08 quad cab hemi lone star edition With 3:92 lsd. I still beat him. ( he has a '13 Hyundai velociter turbo automatic) after the race I went driving my truck around to see if I could get both rear tires to spin, only time I could do it, is when I was turning left, that is when the back of the truck wanted to pass the front. Never had a 3:92 rearend do this before. Could it be the clutch pack is going bad? It also makes noises going over bumps like something is rattling around. I haven't pulled the diff cover off yet to see if anything is broken or what not, just really seeing if anybody else has or had the same issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..

Are you sure you have limited slip installed?

Morganstruck · Feb 10, 2016

Yep, I took the vin to the local dodge dealer where I used to work. And had them pull a the option list that was optioned for my truck. I think it's something in the rear, I put it on the lift where I work now and manually spun the back tires and you can hear metal grinding. Can't hear while driving.

Pull that cover off and take a look. I have seen a lot of the retaining clips for the clutch packs break. The clip will slide out and can damage the axle housing and cause a big problem if not caught in time.

Is that the dreaded c-clip I keep hearing about?

jwheeler · Feb 10, 2016

Could be but the c-clip holds the axle in. Never seen one of those just fall out on a 9.25 and you would know if it did.

IDK about 1/2-tons, but since that's a factory LSD, would it not be a clutchless helical-gear type in 2008 MY?

1/2 tons are different. The 9.25" rear end uses a clutch driven limited slip. Never seen a single problem with the gear type limited slip.

Well, I had time to pull the diff cover off. Ring and pinion look to be fine. The spider gears on the other hand either have damaged teeth, or have teeth missing.

Time for an upgrade!

Rustycowl69 · Feb 13, 2016

is that from burnouts around corners?

Morganstruck · Feb 13, 2016

Yep, I do agree with an upgrade.right now I have it parked until funds are available. Sucks!!! I couldn't tell you if it was burnouts around corners?? I bought the truck used so it's no telling what the original owner did to it. So I am back in the '88!!!

You can just replace the spiders... Or look into a no-slip lunchbox locker. Those probably are the two cheapest options.
