No, they are the same thing.
LSD's do have their limitations. With one tire on ice the lsd can't cope with
huge difference in torque (basically the clutch's slip instead of grip) so no
power is provided to the opposite wheel. I've heard, but don't really know,
that after-market lsd's like Auburn are a bit more effective than the OEM lsd.
Anybody running an Auburn unit?

Is there a differance between a limited slip diff. and an anti-spin diff.? I
though they were the same thing. According to my paper work from the
dealer/factory I have the anti-spin diff. in my 99 dak 4X4. The reason I'm
asking is tonight as I was backing out of my driveway my right rear tire went
over a patch of ice and just started to spin. I though with the anti-spin diff.
the other wheel should have kicked in and got me up the hill but instead I had
to put it in 4 wheel just to get out of my driveway. I don't think I should of
had to go into 4 wheel just for 1 tire being on some ice.
Any thoughts from you guy?
Thanks
