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

    So I have a 2019 RAM (New Body Style) with that exact rear diff and pinion in it and I've been driving it every day. Works and fits perfectly :) That is, after I got the 31 spline axles which was the hardest part! This thread has the exact parts I ordered and installed so get those and you'll...

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

    If you read through the thread; you'll see the only real difference is the spline count on the axles. All the aftermarket (and the Mopar) LSD are designed for 31 spline axles at the moment. So all you should need is: The Yukon Dura Grip for 2011+ 9.25ZF rear end fits perfectly Yukon Master...

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

    If anyone is interested I have the factory 32 spline 6-lug axles, eLocker in 3.92 gears, and ring and pinion etc etc if anyone is interesting. Shipping could be expensive as it's heavy. Parts are in Utah.

    The Mopar one would have been a good choice as well, I think. After the installation it's rock solid even with slippery roads. Noticed the change immediately. Won't go back! :) I don't think you could go wrong with either. Yukon is fairly well regarded as these things go.

    ETorque Issue

    Ah - haven't tried that! That is not how my MDX or M4 behave they just stop and continue without me having to do anything.

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

    Well; my mechanic and my machinist said it was a fair idea so I went with it. It was ~10% of the cost of the overall job. So it seemed like cheap insurance for a labor intensive job.

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

    Good question. This was just a preference. Relative to the overall cost it wasn't much. If you don't do this, there is a real chance that you will get a little vibration or noise as the gears generally wear together and mesh. The lower the mileage on the vehicle the less likely this is as...

    ETorque Issue

    IMHO it's a crap system. My gas mileage is still laughable (14 ish) and it's gone out twice. Even if they fix it for free it's a hassle. The funniest part of this option is that the adaptive cruise would work flawlessly in stop and go traffic - but - when the truck stops the engine turns off...

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

    Hey all, So this is all done and worked perfectly! I have some actual part numbers and notes for posterity and I'll get some pictures up in a bit. Here are the part numbers. Make a note this conversion was for a truck with the Max Tow package. If you don't have Max Tow you probably don't...

    ETorque Issue

    When I bought my limited back in Sept of 2019 - the system went out after 60 miles. The literally took the parts off a truck on the line and fed-ex'd them to the dealer. I had to make quite the ruckus though

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

    So; these are apparently the OEM RAM axles from a 2019+ RAM 1500 without Max Tow. About $600 ish for the set I think.

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

    Oh no! Not what I wanted to hear! I guess we'll see. I'm committed at this point :)

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

    I think I got one of the first Limited's for sale when I got it in Sept of 2018. At the time I just picked one that was available and didn't know. Even had I know, I'm not sure I could have predicted how much not having LSD would bother me and I would have gone ahead with it anyway. I think...

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

    You can't have both - so the eLocker will be gone when it's done. This thing will never go off-road so this isn't much of a concern for me. On normal roads the chances of being able to effectively use the locker are really low. Unless you're in very snowy or icy conditions. I'm in Utah - so...

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

    Hey all, So; my previous truck was a 2016 GMC - they all have factory LSD (as every car/truck ever made should! lol) but everyone has to save a buck. That being said, I've been loving my RAM minus a few early adopter hassles. The gearing on this thing is great with the max tow package...
