I review the Ford f250 super duty with the 7.3L Godzilla engine and my own Ram 2500 Power Wagon and explained the differences between a fully Locking differencial and a Limited Slip Differential. I go over which differential set up is best for off-road 4x4 use and which differential is best for on road use.

I thought I would continue this off-road series by explaining firstly why I love the rear end in the power wagon because it comes with both a limited slip rear differential and a fully locking rear end all in one.

I go on to explained some major advantages and disadvantages of both the locking differential and the limited slip differential and like most things it comes down to what your application needs are.

if you are using the truck more for on road use a good limited slip differential will work wonders. but if you think your going to be more off-road and may need that extra traction and performance a locking differential is a much better option.

I love how Ford an had the e-locker option in their truck for a long time and it seems like almost every 4x4 comes with a locking rear end it makes a huge difference.

but when living in a snowy climate like CANADA often times having a limited slip diff is more advantagous because you can use it on the road almost all the time and get traction very quickly something you can't really do with a locker.

a locker is great for deep off-roading but for day to day use a limited slip diff is much more useful in my humble opinion.

Hope you guys liked the video!
