Is that correct? Seems to me that the wheel that breaks loose (spins) is not the one you want getting power. The LSD should distribute power to the wheel with traction.

And maybe it's only true for passenger cars with no LSD, but I'm pretty sure only one wheel gets power.

Of course, this may be one of those subjects where I know just enough to be dangerous. wink [/b]
Sure, of course you don't want the spinning wheel to get all the power, but you don't get to choose, unless you have a decent LSD (Not OEM) or a Locker as in the '05 up OR's. The point is that an open Diff, or OEM LSD, isn't the best for offroad where articulation and traction count.

As a matter of fact, there was this one place that I had tried multiple attempts with my '03 SE S/C, couldn't do it with any line I took, however, locked in my '05, walked right up with out issue, to show off, I stopped halfway and reversed back up it. No Problem! I LOVE my locker! The added HP was a bonus!
