In a STRAIGHT line:

1. STOCK diff shoud lay twins. One wheel MIGHT lay down a single at first, but not for long.

2. LSD SHOULD hook up sooner on the 'lagging' wheel.

Either diff should lay twins all the time in a straight line.



In a TURN:

1. STOCK diff will lay a single.

2. LSD will lay twins.

I don't think so, no.

I just found it odd that I laid a fat 100+ foot single stripe on a straight flat road :?
