Don't know much about the axle and such on my truck. When i go wheelin and get in some mud only one wheel spins. How do I fix this? Like i said i have the 7.5, 2.3l, manual.

You could go the locker route...but what I would reccomend is find a junkyard 8.8 and put the locker in that. It's only a little bit more expensive.

Find a jy 8.8 with ls and maybe even some 4.10's and you'll be set. I am not sure how many locerks are available for a 7.5 anyways.
