Now i was out 2 days ago doin burnouts in an old feild and when i was doin it i only saw one tire track, so i figgured i didnt have LSD. Well today i went again and i saw 2 tracks, one was slightly less deep than the other though. Whats this mean, did the LSD just kick in out of no where? Also i saw a mudd hole and i went through it, it turned out to be much deeper than i though and scraped my undercarrage (no damage done) but one rear tire was completly in the air but i still got through? SO does this mean Limited Slip differential or not, im confussed as i get right now.

 

did you have 4wd engaged?

 

you probably have a LS but it sounds like it needs some work. sounds like its worn out. you can have those rebuilt with new clutches.

 

My cherokee is only 2wd, like yours.

 

You could jack up the rear end and spin the tire if they both spin in the same direction = LSD if they spin opposite this = Open carrier.

 

See now i saw 2 days ago that only one spun, but now there are 2 tracks. Only difference between now and then was i was in drive instead of 1-2.

 

I have an open carrier in mine and even when i brake stand in the street i can still get both sides spinning. I know i have an open carrier from when i changed my diff fluid.

 

I knew that...haha

 

Two tracks just mean that both tire had nearly equal traction. I can do a 2 wheel burn out with my OPEN rearend, on pavement, if I modulate the torque with my E-brake. See, if you give a little Resistance to both wheel both wheel get power, even in a open dif, not as good as a locker, but similar to an LSD.
