My '96Ranger 4 liter 5 speed was my first "limited slip" vehicle.
SZtill have it at 392000km and still love it - but the first thing
that caught my attention was that when you got the rear wheels
spinning is you lost your "rudder". The non-spinner with an open rear
end keeps the vehicle going more or less in a straight line. When both
are spinning the rear end pretty much goes wherever it wants!!!...

The same happens to my 91 Ranger's light rear end on ice even without limited slip. Dirt (and ice) biking gave me the instinctive reflexes to stay in control with the rear wheels flopping around. Ice on the road isn't limited to storms, melt water from snow banks freezes when the sun goes down.
