That's news to me. I have an 06, basically the same as the 07's made before the end of the year. Torsen limited slip on rear and nothing available fromt he factory for the front. I have not read anything or found anything on Dodge's website about this option being available on the current diesels. There are aftermarket lockers available for the front axles.

I've got an '06 diesel as well. No lockers from the factory that I know of and no limited slips are/were offered for the front. The electronic lockers for the Power Wagon are standard equipment for that model and only offered with that model. E

Locking rear is standard on the 07 diesel, Front on mine is limited slip, I assumed it was standard since this truck was not a special order. But the truck also came without needing the front leveling kit, it has always been high in the front. It is marked SLT Heavy duty 2500 Has the 5.9 325hp 600ftlb torque cummins. It also has no rear stabilizer which i thought was a standard part.

I have an early '07 2500 Cummins (5.9) and it doesn't have a rear locker. At least not that I know of??

If I am not mistaken there were no aftermarket lockers for the front axle until a few years ago. I am not aware of limited slip being a viable option for front axles.

I have had a Ford Bronco (old style) and a Jeep with factory limited slip front axles. I have also had a CJ 5 with an aftermarket limited slip front axle. If you mean they aren't available, probably not. If you mean they are not feasible, you're mistaken.

I was mistaken. I am all but certain that limited slips were not available for the front differential on 2007 Dodge. I still do not know of any aftermarket limited slips that area available. I was under the impression that limited slip on a front differential could lead to drivablity problems on paved roads.

Limited slip on the front is not nice on dry pavement. My 1985 dodge w350 4x4 also has limited slip front dana 60 but it has an open rear dana 70. Makes a great snow plow rig chained up

E, Depends on if you are buying a new or used 4x4. If buying used, I looked for about 8 months and found a low mileage mint Power Wagon at a reasonable cost, with warranty coverage till 2013. If you are slightly interested in a PW, you should search one out in your area and take it for a test drive. I would only buy a '06 to '09 year, the '05s do not have the tow/haul button, a feature I really like. I do not care for the 2010 and 2011 PW looks, but to each his own. My '05 has tow/haul??
