   I was going to write up some of my comments on limited slip and locking   
   differentials, because I have had both, but the experience and which   
   performed exactly how kind of runs together in my memory.   
      
   The 03 Silverado 2500 (2wd) had auto locking rear.   
   The '17 Jeep JK had limited slip.  I can't recall if it was rear only or   
   front and rear.   
      
   The 07 Silverado had rear autolocking   
   The 24 F250 has rear electric locking.   
      
   I have felt the affects and it definitely helps in the soft stuff.   
   Can't speak to the slippery stuff.  I try to avoid that at all cost.   
      
   Not sure exactly how posi differs from limited slip or auto locking, but   
   its the real deal for street racing.   
      
   FYI:  I am thinking about building a stroked 351 and pushing it out to   
   around 401.  Not today though.  Looking for gobs of mid range for towing   
   torque with a long duration cam rather than a high reving high HP engine   
   with a high lift cam.  I sold my 07 Silverado and my Jeep.  Now I only   
   have the new 24 Ford for a tow vehicle.  I feel naked without a   
   backup... er tow vehicle that is.
