Limited slip usually refers to the differential. It helps transfer some power to the wheel (left or right) that has traction, as explained by a few people up above. Limited slip has nothing to do with front/rear bias.Isn't limited slip what makes the front tires grab so much when it's turning?

Yes. I was referring to this statement where you mentioned the front.Isn't the front differential a differential?

It sure does a lot of digging in up there when I'm turning in 4WD, i felt for sure that's what it was.
In fact I am very reluctant to do much turning in 4X4 for that specific reason
Rear differential with 3L73 was limited slip when truck rolled off the line in '97. But 25 years later the clutches (and steels) are probably getting more than a little worn.Axle tag (rear)

fastpakr said it's 3.73 limited slip 8.8"
I'm sure manual would confirm that (which I didn't have at that time)
that's good, right? I mean, versus not being lsd
ok one might have wanted 4.10 but already had discussion about difficulty to get front gear for this and I don't think it's worth it esp for daily driver
I think 3.73 is fine for what I do and it will also be fine w/ 31" tires.
so front diff would also be limited slip, or no?
