Thanks for the education.
Wow! All the trucks and cars that made it building the world and farming and daily use along with being enjoyed with the non Posi all these decades while spinning tires not being able to move when it's not sunny and they are still building millions of them, Even the OP truck made it this long without.
Btw, I also have classic cars with a Posi.

Driving an Express Van versus driving an empty pickup is not a valid comparison. Although, if I had the chance, I would order posi in a van as well.
I hope you got what you wanted out of your mockery comments. Prior to that, we were having a pretty reasonable discussion. But you have made me think about it. I will probably stop getting posi on trucks that others drive - it could be detrimental it they're not comfortable with it.
In service of the original question: Limited slip differentials are simply a traction aid. If used correctly they operate as designed and help in power vs limited traction conditions. For me it's simply a case of what the best tool for the job is. I'm comfortable driving with a posi and I know how it works and how it can work against me and prefer to have the traction advantage, work or hobby. But especially on my hobby rig. Do I
need a hobby truck? No. Does what I have
need more power? No. Do I
need positraction? No. Do I want a hobby truck with more power and the best chance to use it? Sure thing.
