We had this dicssion today at work. I made the argument that a automatic locking rear diff such as they G80 package available on GM trucks is better than a limited slip diff. Limited slips as the name implies means they limit slip. Now lets say you are parked with one wheel on pavement and one on gravel, my corvette will spin the one on gravel, not a lot but some. They said if it has a properly working LSD it should step sideways or at least spin both. I say BS, its a limited slip unless you got those clutches set up so there is WAY lots of torque that can be applied before it slips. In above senerio I say my Vette's LSD works properly, any LSD should do about the same thing. A locker would lock both and put equal power to both in the above senerio.
My LSD for the record puts power to both rear wheels on level pavement with even traction equally.
In my world any LSD that is tight enough to allow both wheels to spin in the above senerio would cause binding in turns. Just my two cents.
Am I wrong here or they off there rockers??? Or are we both off our rockers???

with mustangs trailing behind, MY truck has a new Auburn Lsd clutch type with springs and it will break loose and get sideways even when both tires arent equally loaded its the best set up you can buy it doesnt bind or lock up its just enough and not to much, a little story for you....as my ID says Towu4free i go to Nags head N.C every year many times and i love the thrill of 4wheelin on the beach and i Tow every stuck person out for absolutley no charge. makes me feel good inside,all i ask is that they return the favor to someone in need, anyway when i lifted my truck it caused some more flex in the suspension and thus the left front tire would dig and right rear causing an X flex which meant i had 2 tires pulling.....well that would work with them damn ford f350s they are heavy as hell so i bought my Auburn LSD and fixed that problem now it tracks level no matter how much im diggin down!:cool keep in mind my truck is an 87 chevy shortbed 4x4 4inch lift add a leaf in the rear 33 tires and im working on building the top end on my tbi for it now... its made me over 500 dollars in one trip in tips....enough of me jabbering on..thats my .99 cents worth
