I know mine does regardless of what others "think" they know saying it doesn't fully lock in.
as does mine

There are a handful on here that seem to have transfer cases set to the lowest end of the spec for air gap on the clutch so the delay is pretty much unnoticed. A coworker just leased a 2016 bighorn with the pentastar and in 4 lock and 4 low he can drive around on dry pavement with zero binding just like my 2013 did.I know mine does regardless of what others "think" they know saying it doesn't fully lock in.
The style of limited slip ram uses needs torque to apply the clutches to transfer power, if you have one tire on ice and one on dry parent you aren't going anywhere, but if they are both on ice you will get both tires spinning.Anyone else ?
No...With both rear tires of the ground, if you spin one by hand and the other doesn't spin then you have an open differential with no lsd.
If instead the other wheel turns in the opposite direction you are turning then you have some type of lsd installed.

That style would be OK for driving on snow/ice with patches of dry pavement on the FRONT diff , but that sucks for the REAR diff imo .The style of limited slip ram uses needs torque to apply the clutches to transfer power, if you have one tire on ice and one on dry parent you aren't going anywhere, but if they are both on ice you will get both tires spinning.
My truck : 2014 QC Express 4x4 6 speed 3.55 DIFFERENTIALS
All I know is with stock tires I plowed through over 20 miles of snow 11-14" and 6 miles as the first vehicle to drive through it and I had no problems at all as long as I kept a good head of steam going .

Looks like you got the white stuff under control. :)
I remember those days, I'm originally a western PA redneck. I'll pass on it now and take the 100+ degree summers. White stuff is fine, its the cold that comes with it. And maintenance to keep your ride looking good and solid.
Enjoy
Yes, you're getting it.
It's like this......
2wd - obvious
4wd auto - 4wd when needed, normal 1 to 1 gearing thru the t-case, used for snow, ice, whenever you want
4wd lock - 4wd all the time, normal 1 to 1 gearing thru the t-case, used for snow, ice, whenever you want as long as the traction is limited, limited turning radius
4wd low - 4wd all the time, 2.72 to 1 gearing (almost 3x lower), very loose surfaces, slow maneuvers, when high torque/traction is needed, speed limited due to gearing (possible to over-rev engine), limited turning radius
I read through the 13 pages and there are a few points that were left out.
3) if you don't believe that center diff 4x4 systems are inferior ask yourself why the rubicon, powerwagon, and hummer h1's don't come with a center diff.
