If you have the 5-speed see http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/specs/axle/286RBI_specs.html

Basically that's it. It's a Hy-brid. Bigger R&P D70.

Not really worth much other than where they are found, i.e in a tow rig. You think a 14 bolt is a trail plow??? The D80 is more like trail dozer!!!

Not sure about locker, factory offered a trash lok. I think there's an ARB available...?

Sweet, exactly man thank you ;)

When I was inquiring about a locker for my D80, the only thing I came up with (besides the factory trash loc) was a Lock Right, which is just huge in this application, but maybe overkill for a daily drive, and a PowerLok, which is one of the best of the 'clutch type' limited slips from my experience. The preload can be adjusted very tightly. I purposely declined the Trash Loc when new, but since the rig is my daily drive, I've found the open/open to be troublesome on wet streets. Too much torque. I really wanted something like an ARB or other selectable.
