Learn how a limited slip differential gear works in automotive engineering and why we need the LSD limited slip differential #engineering | The Engineering Mindset

In this video, I break down the real difference between a limited slip differential and a locking differential on a 4x4 pickup truck. A lot of people assume a limited slip will always send power to both wheels, but in the real world — especially on ice — that’s not always the case. With my truck on a slippery surface, I show how a limited slip diff can still allow only one wheel to spin once it reaches its traction limit. Then, I lock the differential and repeat the test to show how a locking di
