Well hopefully it is limited slip at least and he didn't lie about that. having 3.55 tho instead of 3.73 i personally would like better tho and I would be happy, lower cruising rpms. Unless you tow heavy loads a lot, then its worse. At least its not the highest tho like the EB has (like 3.20 ish or something?). That would suck.

eco goes all the way to 3.15 - I wish the overdrive went another step higher on mine with 3.73's, you know for when you need to do 75 mph

Why didn't you look at the window sticker before you bought the truck?

It totally sucks, and I would definitely be pissed if I were you.

Given how much you have gone on and on about how LS is required and the best thing ever though, I would LMAO if it turns out you have an open diff after all that. Think it'd change your view on the e-locker vs LSD debate?

no its still LS, but he told me they only order 3.73s, bought 3 vehicles from him didnt think he would lie to me, haha! He must not have known really. I dont pull that much heavy stuff alot, but occasionally. Was planning on getting a big 5th wheel camper a few years down the road though, thats gonna suck now probably, haha!

D'oh!
Had the dealer short change me on my all terrain tires with the sale that I wasnt sure on so I didnt push and just took the crappy Goodyears they had installed. I was pissed when I found out those are *not* A/T tires... So a 3.73 vs 3.55 cheating would probably inspire me to do naughty things with flammable liquids...
