For those that have always been curious as well as myself: what type of design does rams anti-slip differential use. Well I think I found my answer.
AAM 11.5 TracRite Helical Differential Case Available for Ram, Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Trucks | American Axle & Manufacturing | Aftermarket OE Parts
According to this design as I understand the operation of this anti-slip goes as follows: When one wheel begins to spin the pinion gears on that side are forced toward the Pinion brake shoes .
The Pinion brake shoes then cause friction drag on the opposite pinion gears and the side gear.
These friction forces transfer power to the opposite wheel. Once the frictional forces are overcome, differentiation will occur.
The torque will be continually biased by the frictional forces to the high traction wheel.
This set up consists of two side gears, 6 pinion gears and 6 Pinion brake shoes
