I'v got a 2000 f-350 2wd single rear wheel diesel LT-slip rear end. It seams like the rear end never grabs when I need it most. I get stuck on a slight slope if i'm not carefull. Ford replaced the clutch pack at about 10,000 miles. It still does not grab like it should. This is my 2nd ford with lt-slip and i'v yet to have one that grabs good.
If it were me setting up a truck, I would go with the locker.

Dave,
I had the same problem with a 85 Ford F250 4X4 which I bought brand new. The LS rear never did grab unless one wheel was spinning very rapidly. My 96 Dodge 3500 4X2 with LS grabs right away. The other wheel will start turning by the time the no traction wheel made 1 rotation. This is the best LS I have ever seen and I have had no problems with it.
