While I had my jeep jacked up the other day, I noticed my rear tires spun in the same direction when I pushed on one. I have a Rocky Mountain Edition so it has a Dana 44 in the back with an LSD stock. Does this mean my LSD still works after 236k miles? Or is it just worn enough to not work under load but still work work while in the air?
 

You'd have to find out what the break away is on the LSD in your axle but here is simple way to test it.

I'd guess the latter, I strongly doubt the clutch pack would still be good after even close to 236k miles. They can be rebuilt but for not much more than the cost of a rebuild you can replace it with the MUCH better Detroit Truetrac LSD which being gear-based, does not use a clutch.
 
At 30k and 145k my rear trac-lok worked about the same as far as I could tell. The tires rotated the same direction in the air its whole life and it was almost invisible. When I put in an open rear recently I realized it was actually doing something, the rear inside tire is much easier to break loose now. I wouldn't mess with it unless you find little bits of the plates in the oil.
 
It was announcement made at Woodstock in 1969.

I'm actually surprised I remembered the reference and had the band correct. Probably been 25 years since I heard that.

Probably because I found it funny that they went on about that. Don't take the brown acid. The other acid could be ok, just don't do the brown, we've had some issues. Party on, here's the next song... o_O

Funny you should say that. One of my few remaining memory fragments from those days involves sitting at a Sambo's restaurant (does that date me?) watching as the orange juice dispenser breathed in and out like on a cartoon.
Never fear old crow… the soul sanitizer is still around and plentiful. 😉

You're definitely old if you've been to Sambo's. I used to go there too.

There's one of the last remaining Bob's Big Boy restaurants about 30 minutes away from me.

Back in the day we used to live in Beaumont and my wife worked at the Sambo's in Palm Springs. This was long after the orange juice machine episode.
My FIL was known to frequent a Bob's in Riverside, but I don't remember where exactly it was.
 
That is one place that would never even open their doors at a single location in today's world. BLM would burn it down in seconds if they tried. In fact, you probably owe someone reparations for even typing out the name of that place.
That ain't no shit. (sigh).

IN the same vein, I read this article about the family of the original lady who portrayed Aunt Jemima. Seems they were not at all offended by the image, but proud of their relative for having had the chance to advance opportunities for Black women. I feel like sometimes the cancel culture is like a bunch of lemmings, just jumping on board with everybody else just to be jumping...kinda like Patagonia haters :eek:

My wife was Hispanic, and she was pretty offended when they cancelled Speedy Gonzalas and the Frito Bandito. She used to tell me that her favorite cartoon as a kid was Speedy.

Patagonia make great jackets.

Well you're only allowed to like Speedy Gonzales if you're Hispanic. Otherwise, you're a racist...

The only one I can kind of agree with is Pepe Le Pue, the rapist skunk. But back in the 80's that was pretty funny.
