one-legged giddy-up club

Hi everybody,

I'm in the one-legged giddy-up club as I didn't get the factory limited slip
in my Dak.

I have the standard open dif' with 3.55 gears. I have been doing a lot of
snow driving this year (I just learned how to snow board and I'm hooked,
though the way that I do it they should call it a$$ boarding).

Needless to say, I am now wishing for the additional traction at the rear
end that a limited slip would provide. I also figure that as long as I am in
the dif' I might as well go to 4.10 as well. So the question is, am I better
off upgrading to the factory limited slip or should I go with an
aftermarket? If factory then how dangerous would it be for me to try to
junkyard scavenge the factory parts off of a dead Dak? If aftermarket then
who is recommended?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Hamilton

P.S. How many DML people do we have in the San Diego area?
