I owned one pickup with an open diff. It was terrible. I install a factory unit and it was great. With the open dii it wanted to swap ends on slick pavement. With the limited slip it's fun to drive.
Isn't that kinda backwards to everybody else's results!
No, it's frickin' physics...and a fact. Having both wheels on one axle locked together is bad juju on icy roads. Having an centersection that changes drive force from a spinning wheel to a non-spinning wheel is as good as it gets.
