I tried searching but didn’t find an definitive answer.

Can an 05 explorer with AdvanceTrac have an factory LS3.73 differential swapped into it? Basically will AdvanceTrac and the LSD play nice together?

This depends on how AdvanceTrac regulates individual axle speed, I presume. Making one axle turn slower than the other requires adequate opposing torque to overcome limited slip clutching, a process possible by using the brakes individually. I am hypothesizing here using logic, but do not really know.
 






Thank you imp.

So, does any know if this will work together?
 






Over in 4G there is a member @TheElectrician who runs Torsens front and rear. Claims they work beautifully together with the AdvanceTrac. Check it out.

One question would be the tone ring (wheel speed sensors), and whether they are provided on the Limited slip diff.. Non advancetrac vehicles might use a a rear diff speed sensor instead of individual wheel speed sensors.
