The Dana/Spicer RSP40 Differential is a light to medium-duty differential commonly used in trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. It features a semi-floating axle design, where the axle shafts are supported by the differential and external bearings. The RSP40 typically uses an open differential, allowing the wheels on the same axle to rotate at different speeds, which is useful during turns. It is designed to handle a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) in the 6,000 to 8,000 lb range and is known for its durability and reliability in standard driving and moderate off-road conditions.
