is a breakstand on dirt a surefire way to check if you have a LSD/locker?

>jack car up
>chock left wheel
>attempt to turn right with a breaker bar / by hand
Does anyone know the difference between break and brake anymore?
Also just mash the gas and look at the tracks.

Are you talking about getting one drive wheel off the ground and then trying to move? If so, no, because some LSDs don't work at all if one wheel is in the air. Lockers are easy, just do a full lock turn on pavement.

It's a pickup with shitty 373 gears, won't even leave a mark on ice.
>>14661034
But that's effort.

Dirt road m8.

>Jack car up to check the fucking LSD
Jesus cunt, or he could just stomp it while turning.
OP, let me tell you how i checked mine on the test drive
>Drove along
>Found a tree near the road, leaves all over it
>Still morning, slightly damn from dew
>Perfect
>1 wheel on leaves, 1 not
>Brake
>Accelerate
>Feel car start to crab sideways rather than lighting up 1 wheel
>It's an LSD
Of course, it does skidz in the dry with 275s so this might not be 100% applicable, so do what my plan B was and put 1 wheel on dirt and the other on road.

Well with both on dirt, from a full stop, it spun them both.
It don't have a factory LSD but the covers been off the rear differential, and it used to be a field truck by the muddy ass coast.
>>14661087
My car spins both on dirt but is an open diff, check with a standstill on the road you pussy
>>14661098
I tried that already, it won't spin them.
>>14661087
My open diff FWD would light both up in the dry, you need to make sure one is noticeably more slippery than the other.
1 on dirt, 1 on road. If it's a proper LSD it'll spin both.

What is it a miata? Full lock in a car park/open space and accelerate slowly more and more til you lose traction, if you slide then lsd, if its a black perfect circle then unlucky.
Also most open wheel diffs are capable of spinning 2 in the right circumstances or weld it/L2 scandi flick.
>>14661105
Bull fucking shit.
>>14661124
It's a f250.
I may try that if I get insurance on it. My other open differential trucks would just spin one on dirt so I figured it was factory LSD but the tags say no.

It wont do any damage it should start to either step out or put a one wheel line down at 15mph @ full lock, just back off straight away.
Another alternative is jack up both rears and spin one by hand, if the opposing wheel spins in the opposite way it isnt lsd.

>paying extra just to powerslide with two wheels instead of one
>>14661021
just do a fucking burnout m8
It's not :(
So:
Lunchbox locker
Detroit locker
Factory junkyard LSD
Or just a fucking Lincoln locker?

I did a factory junkyard lsd for $50. Went with another gear at the same time. Have not looked back since, highly recommended for on road use.
