Hey thanks for the info, Maintain. I say locker, but you're right I do need to turn that boat...
I did actually ease into the go pedal, the same way I drive it in the snow - as soon as I lose traction I'll let off sometimes coming to a complete stop (driveway or hill) and ease back on. Has never let me down.
Read the tag on the pumpkin just last Summer to verify I even had a one ton set-up as I've long suspected the van wasn't built as the one ton I'd ordered. Read the info off to my guy at the dealer who verified it was a 4:10 Dana 60 LSD. I wonder if I'd have been any better off with the Sterling?!
By the by, I'm 2WD only
