A shop had installed the front LSD for the previous owner. Unfortunatly, one of my front axles keep pulling out of the differential so I have not been able to do too much testing.

I had to use the 4wd on and off with the hubs locked for an hour on the highway due to a snow storm a little while ago. on the snowy highway roads and the hubs locked you can definetly feel it pulling, but you get used to it and it feels normal after a while. Driving through the woods in over a foot of snow, I could just turn it in any direction and it would just go where ever I turned the wheels in the same place that my SWB would get stuck all the time. The only time you can feel it pulling alot is when you hit dry patches of pavement in 4wd, then it feels funny.

I also noticed that on snow/icy covered roads driving around the turns it is a little scary. Just take your time and don't go fast and it's just fine.

I also went from an SWB with open diffs to an LWB with LSD front and rear so I am sure there are some big differences there.
