    Mine doesn't "explain" anything. It's like Microsoft Help..."If you want to do this, push that button." No explanation what the "this" is or how it works.

    Many people don't understand that electronic traction has dead zone. As it will activate when there is significant difference in wheel speed. It needs to be that way to keep system from activating in turns and when having flat tire.
    Because of that electronic traction system is the most useless thing in the truck in winter.

    Seems to be the most correct sounding answer to me, I think most people who commented would agree, thank you all for the help! I wasn't stuck for real just had to back up a few feet and get off the ice but I wanted to see how effective the LSD was, and from what I experienced, it isn't really that helpful in that specific situation.

    Thanks everyone!

    Edit: That is the link I mentioned in the OP, thanks for finding and posting it!
