Do I have a Limited Slip Axle?

Yes you do have L/S with 3.21 gears. You also have HD engine & trans cooling added on.

Question: with the fourth generation Rams is it better in snowy/ icy conditions if you're going to use the four-wheel-drive system to turn the traction control off so everything operates properly?
(Especially If your Ram is equipped with the Anti-Spin rearend).

I have read that having the traction control off really helps with the operation of the BW44-44 Transfer Case.

We have never really had severe ice and snow yet since I've had my new RAM. I have not had a lot of chances to experiment with this.

i dont see how syn. in 04 we bought grand cherokee limited with quadra drive. the traction control would reduce the speed of the spinning wheel(s) and send power to the wheel(s) with traction. similar to how lsd works. i suspect the same would be true on our rams. this assumes you arent talking about mud pits and sand pits where you are sinking in to bottom door level, at which point its all about skill, tires, power and needing all 4 wheels spinning. day to day driving in snow and ice conditions, i havent found the need to turn off TC and the same holds true with light off road, as in fire roads.

Thanks, no need for the additive then.

You can use LSD fluid if need be, (from what i understand) i have been using the gear oil with the LSD modifier for 30k miles and no issues.

For a vehicle equipment sheet from OEM:

1. Go to https://ram.custhelp.com/app/ram/eqlisting_detail or Ram Trucks - Contact Us
2. Left side, "Equipment List" link.
3. Enter your VIN#, click search.

This gives a PDF of the vehicle equipment sheet, which contains the standard and optional equipment when the vehicle was built.


The OEM Window Sticker may also help

1. http://www.chrysler.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=YOURVINHERE
2. Replace with your VIN#.

This gives a PDF of the window sticker for the vehicle. Meant for the dealership but has lots of useful information about the vehicle.

My Ram will only see Snow/Ice/Rain on the tarmac. Never mud/sand/Off-Road for fun! Did all that when I was younger! Not doing it in my First & Only New Truck.
