     on the ground. (There may be suspension mods that could handle these 
     problems in a more efficient fashion.) Still, the traction available 
     remains the same, all other factors equal, whether you have an open or 
     locked differential. Traction is a function of friction coefficients 
     between the contacting surfaces, and is independent of torque, unless 
     that torque changes the tire footprint, contact pattern, or other 
     surface to surface variables of both tires. (If one tire variable 
     changes, does the other change to compensate?) You can't create 
     traction; you can only use what is there more efficiently.<<<<


Hmmmm, have to agree, maybe even better said than I was willing.....
