Standard ratios have been carefully chosen to provide a balance of performance and economy. | However, for more specialized applications, your Dodge Dealer can order a more suitable ratio.You will want to consider the many advantages offered by the Dodge Sure Grip differential. In sand, snow or mud, power is transferred to the rear wheel having the better traction. |
