What is the difference between a limited slip and a non-limited slip rear axle. Thanks Magoo

 

a limited slip rear will have a limited slip differential. it better distributes power between the wheels and will give both wheels power when one is slipping. an open differential will only send power to the wheel that doesn't have traction.

 

Thanks for the reply Mike. I want to learn more about my truck just feel kinda stupid asking the questions. Thanks again!

 

There are a lot of us out here who learn from each question asked and answered --- there are no stupid questions!!

 

no problem. we all learn it at some point

 

How Stuff Work's Differential page is good and explains LSD vs open.

 

thanks for throwing that page up apt. i wsa actually trying to find that exact page when i was writing my reply, but howstuffworks.com wouldn't load for me.

that site is awesome
