<div class="bbWrapper">Trying to get a definitive answer from someone with personal knowledge, does the 2500 limited slip have clutches, or is it a gear type? When I bought the truck the literature sounded pretty clear that the 2500s got a gear type and the 3500s got a clutch type. I haven&#039;t taken my diff cover off yet. Also, haven&#039;t seen any lockers or other aftermarket stuff yet, has anyone else?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Everything 2019 and later will have a clutch type limited slip except for the power wagon, which still has the helical style lsd with e-locker.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Anyone seen a locker available for the front diff of a 2019-newer? ARB says no, that the newer axle is different. I think the spline count has changed, but can&#039;t find any info.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">In my experience, the stock LSD takes a couple revolutions of the tire and some wheel speed to get the LSD to grab. But, once it does, it really seems to grab pretty well. I&#039;ve been able to climb rocks that lift a rear tire off the ground with it. It&#039;s not a locker... but it&#039;s better than I expected in that regard. I do agree with above comments in that it will spin 1 tire for a bit before it grabs.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Coming from a Ford with a selectable rear locker, I have been impressed with the Rams lsd, but really would like to upgrade to a full selectable locker at some point. It&#039;s one of few things I do miss that the super duty had. Hopefully the aftermarket steps up with some options.</div>

They told me the same thing but I bought and installed it anyway on my 2019 3500. It’s really amazing how these guys don’t know such simple things.</div>
