I Want Lockers For My 2004.5 3500 4x4

[evldsl]

Does anyone know if there are lockers for the 2004. 5 3500 turbodiesel 4x4 short bed srw yet? I have the american axels.

I have not seen any info on this for sometime now. ARB, was working on something a year ago I think. I would like an air locker for the front. My rear lsd seems to work ok. Much better than the lsd in the 01. 5

You can get the front locker from a power wagon. I think the eaton e-locker for a GM 9. 5 might also fit. ARB has a listing for the front locker which I think is the same PN as the GM 9. 5 ARB. They hadn't come out with a PN for the rear locker yet last time I looked, but it said coming in '07

I think ARB has the air lockers listed on their website now. The draw back for me is I have the 10. 5 not the 11 in the rear. The made the front and the 11 rears.

4wheelersupply.com shows the Eaton E-Locker for the Dodge 9. 25; #19622.

ARB website has the Dodge 9. 25 listed as #RD51.

The chrysler 9. 25 is a 1/2 ton rear axle. The 03+ front axle is an AAM 9. 5

My Dodge service manual shows that the front axle is a 9. 25. And this being the 3rd Gen site I assumed we all knew both axles were AAM. I did not mean to confuse anyone.

Whoops, your right, I've been working on too much GM stuff lately. Although there is a corp. 9. 25 for those that may get confused.

The new Chevy TD offers an Eaton Locker as an option. Why is Dodge holding off?

There is very good reason for not offering lockers. It is doubtful that the axles are strong enough to support the use of lockers. Add the copious torque of the CTD and you have a recipie for lots of snapped axle shafts. Sure there may be a few people that are knowledgable enough to know when and where to use lockers, and are smart enough not to unleash the full force of the CTD when locked up BUT, there are a whole bunch of guys out there who aren't that smart. It would be a warranty nightmare.

Good point
