Issue with any diesel is going around a corner, the torque tens to want to spin the inside rear tire on dry pavement and that results in tire wear.
Never heard that one before.
This is true of every vehicle where the opposing wheels/tires are connected. Not unique to diesel. In fact there was just a post about differentials here.
More so with a diesel because of the increased torque (and in my case a Detroit Tru-Trak in the rear spool). Never been a fan of factory limited slip differentials because of the clutch plates. A Detroit uses a dog clutch arrangement mush like an ARB (which I have in the front spool). My ARB provides a solid locking (no differential at all) when engaged. I have true 4 wheel drive when I need it, providing I lock in the front hubs that is.
