Pulling a 10k trailer without brakes on dry pavement can be a nightmare. I once witnessed a pickup pulling an empty gooseneck horse trailer without brakes rear end a car stopped at some RR tracks. He locked up the truck coming down a gentle hill but the trailer kept on rolling and pushed him into it. If there'd been a train there instead of a car, he'd have likely died. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. Then the dumb ass was trying to blame the woman in the car for not moving out of his way fast enough. Sheesh

But back to the limited slip, I haven't driven one on icy highways. I was reading that it's easy to break both tires loose if you're not very careful & was wondering how bad it really is. Thanks for the info.
