I have had my '01 Sport for a year and a half now and have taken it off roading many times, it's great. The previous owner (it was a fleet vehicle) ran this thing into the ground, so I've been fixing it up since I bought it.
While offroading, I thought how nice it would be to have a Limited Slip Differential on my explorer. With a little research, I discovered that I in fact DO have a LSD on my explorer. This confused me, becasue I'm pretty sure that I have never heard it kick in. Other vehicles I've been in with LSDs were loud and made the tires squeek around corners...which has never happened to me. So I'm at a loss.
I'm wondering if there is a reliable test that I can do to see if my LSD is working properly, or if I need to replace some parts inside. Thanks.
