Default Re: oops smoked the rear end

What are you referring too? I have the same brochure. If it had a limited slip it would be totally hidden within the two differential case halves, (that would be the diff case between the pinion gear and the tapered roller brg on the left.) There's no way to tell by the pic if there's L.S. clutch packs or conventional axle and spider gears in the case.

Funny you mention that, the picture of the 10.5" diff in the Tundra brochure shows a 4 pinion or possibly limited slip differential.
Four pinion???? Any differential has ONE pinion gear which drives the ring gear,, L.S. or not-----automotive differential terminology 101.

One wheel peeling will tear up the spider gears really fast, regardless of how big the ring gear is.
That's for sure, lengthy one wheel spinning and the other one not spinning is not what they're designed for. Under those conditions they're spinning super fast and that with a lack of lubrication---kablooy. Also, it's easy for a mechanic to determine if that's what caused the destruction and if so that type abuse factor doesn't come under the warranty.
