This helps so much. Thank you!
When his passenger front was spinning his passenger rear was not spinning and I thought the mojave had a rear electronic locker (unless it wasn't engaged)?
Do you even need to apply brake for the system to work in the Jeep? I would think not, but I don't know. It sounds like it's automatic. Brake-based limited slips have been a thing with various manufacturers for a while now. I honestly can't stand how they feel but they get the job done. It seems like Jeep has just implemented it in a more encompassing way, at slow speed and various torque levels.
You do not need to apply the brake for this system to work.
You don’t have to apply them. It helps, I’ve found, to start the ball rolling.
The limited-slip diff available in the Gladiator is mechanical - it uses gears and a clutch (which BTW is a wear item) to prevent all the torque from flowing to a wheel with much less traction than its counterpart on a driven axle. BLD is electronic - the computer looks out for situations where one wheel on an axle is spinning more and applies the brakes only to that wheel. My understanding is that the LSD (if you have it) will kick in quickly to address this phenomenon, and if the condition persists, the BLD will take further action to ensure that the wheel with traction gets torque.
The LSD often uses the same gears, same number of gears (in most cases). The difference is the clutch packs between the side gears and the carrier housing.
