I bought this truck with an open diff. Now that warranty is up, I'd like to add an LSD to my rig. What options do i have for this truck with a 3.92 gear ratio ? I can only seem to find the OEM mopar version of the LSD.

What he said the factory one is junk
I'm not saying that there are better LSD's than factory, but your "test" isn't a good indication of how many LSD's work. The physics behind many styles of LSD's is that power going through the driveshaft and then to the tires is what "locks them up". By applying power to the tire you are sending the power backwards. Plus keep in mind that you are nowhere close to spinning the tire by hand the same speed as normal driving conditions If you jack up one rear tire on a TrueTrac diff it will just free spin that tire also, same goes for the Gov-lock in my old Chevy truck, and even full on lockers like a Detroit or Lock-Right.First winter it did not feel like it was working correctly
Jacked it up and felt like an open diff
Dealer replaced I took it home jacked it up and it still felt like an open diff
went back and was told they changed to one with no preload and to check it you
need to measure spread between side gears it is a joke so I call it junk
