Well, I just drove my coach back from Miguels with, among other things, a new Jim K limited slip.
To get home I had to cross about 200 feet of running water about 6" at the deepest part, then go up hill, then a series of sharp uphill twists and turns.
Usually in the best of conditions, something slips, slides and loses traction. While I noticed the smallest bit of torque steer on one tight uphill right turn, otherwise was perfect, none of the prior isses.
This is good.
By Friday we are off to the desert, towing a big trailer, and the campsite is a little bit offroad, so, we shall see...

Neil,
Appreciate the feedback.
Do you have the 2" wheel spacers?
To say that there will be no torque steer, it can't be , but it is not
a locking type and safe to operate.
Thanks,

Neil, We did some tire smoking with that thing before you got here. I rode with Miguel. Wow.
I am glad that limited slip did its thing for you.
