I read "cheap LSD" and was like what's happening on this page.... Not what I thought that's for sure

My LSD is working just great and my new turbo setup will make full use of it.

Just a side note, if using the 93-up RX-7 diff, it is a torsen type which does not have any preload during operation.

I got stuck the other day (dropped a wheel off the pavement on the edge of my driveway so one wheel was over the ditch spinning in the air)

I had read before that the torsen style diff needs to see some load on both wheels to lock up - so my one wheel in the air did not allow the wheel on the ground to move the truck - well I also read that applying the e-brake will give you the preload you need (it has something like a 4:1 ratio (for example, if you have 10lbs of force on the side that is spinning, it'll apply 40lbs to the other side)

I put the e-brake on and it drove right back up onto the pavement! Just for good measure I tried it a few more times and it works like a charm!
