Another LSD mystery

[RAMYOU]

so I had my truck on the lift the other day and thought I'd make sure I had LSD, so I turned one of the rear wheels hoping the other one would turn the same direction but it didnt! - it turned the opposite direction like an open diff. The truck was in Park too. My build sheet says I have "Anti spin rear diff" and 4.10 rear axle ratio. Now im thinking It comes down to either chrysler lied to me about the LSD on the biild sheet or the helical gear type LSD doesnt necesarily turn both wheels the same direction like the clutch type LSDs do. what do u guys think? - thnx

The helical style lsd will do this. It will give a little more resistance than a open diff but it will still spin the opposite direction.

No. Helical uses helical gears to engage, cone uses a cone shaped clutches.
