    Preventing Theft - kill switch

    Sometimes simple is not a bad thing. The actual thief is not as smart as one might think they are, they work for someone that tells them what to do. For example, there are no specialists working on stealing a certain vehicle, so the ones that are stealing any vehicle just tries what he is told...

    2019 RAM 1500 Offroad + Max Towing -> Converting from locking diff (eLocker) to limited slip (LSD)

    New carrier in place ready to put the cover on. There is a lot of flash back from the new and clean parts. I used new ring gear bolts.

    2019 RAM 1500 Offroad + Max Towing -> Converting from locking diff (eLocker) to limited slip (LSD)

    2019 RAM 1500 Offroad + Max Towing -> Converting from locking diff (eLocker) to limited slip (LSD)

    How about this. What does it take to convert a 2019 1500 31 spline axle open to a LSD. This is the only thread I've seen where anyone has any real information. Most of what I've read and heard is that the 5th Gen has a different differential.
