3500 rear diff question

[MEGA HO]

Hey folks, I think there was an option to order anti-spin (limited slip) rear axle on 2500, but there was none of that and no packages that included this feature on 3500. So I'm wondering if 3500 came with it by default?
Anyone knows for sure?
Yeah I could floor it on a gravel road and have someone watch the rear tires to see if both will spin, but I'm not home and would rather ask if anyone knows.

I was curious about this too, I’ve been on some gnarly slick logging roads and it didn’t have any problems, but still not sure.

Easy enough to check and see if you have LSD:
Jack up rear end, try to spin one side by hand...
if the other side spins the opposite direction then you don't have LSD.

When I bought my truck I was told it was standard equipment on the 3500.

Anti spin is standard on a 3500. To check, just get on some grass and goose it, then get out and see if both tires spun. If both spun, then you have limited slip diff.

Well, this answered the question. Thanks y'all.

Another way to tell if you have LSD is everything you look at is changing colors and you might even see pink elephants or giant tarantulas. Followed by a big down / bad trip. Or so I was told.

 

[MEGA HO]

Hahaha!!! Yeah pink flying elephants is a sure way to tell!

I love overloaded abbreviations! In the RV world, I like TV; it that the screen inside the cabin where I used to be able to watch sports, or is in the nice new Ram 3500 that I just bought?

They are not Limited slip . I didn't see it as an option when I ordered my 2020 3500. Comes with traction control or anti spin same thing works with the brakes etc

They are limited slip. And also included: Traction control which is something different (works with brakes like you said).
It is simply not an option on the 3500, they all come with it. Unlike the 2500.

My build sheet lists both:
"Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle"
and
"Traction Control"

x2 what Mike said. Traction is tires, differential is gearing assembly.
When they say anti-spin differential rear axle it must be the LSD, otherwise it would be a false advertisement.

My build sheet says the same:
* Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle
* Conventional Differential Frt Axle

Confirmed my 3500 laid two strips in the gravel this week trying to get up a hill, definitely LSD. (and a little fun)
