Having been stuck on wet grass with my GMC, and observing several coaches
equipped with limited slip, my comment would go something like this: "If
you use your coach in traction conditions that require it, the LSD makes a
good deal of sense." Greg Birch has some humungous mud and snow tires on
his coach, and he takes it in marginal traction situations without limited
slip. He carries kitty litter and shovels, etc. When I asked him if he had
one, his response was "nah, we just dig her out and get out and push".
But, he is young and exuberant. The rest of us, Todd Sullivan included,
use limited slip diff's. I have very little experience in ice or snow with
the GMC, so I cannot comment on how they work there. Someone once told me
about a captain of a ship who was asked about which qualities set a great
skipper apart from a mediocre one. His reply was something like "The mark
of a great skipper is to keep his vessel out of situations that demanded
his superior navigation and seamanship." Might apply to GMC'S in snow too.
