Re: 2006 TUNDRA 4X4 AUTO LSD?

It is a Limited Slip Differential (rear) (LSD) which is turned on or off
with a dash button. The vehicle is a part time 4wd so I guess I should have
said 4x2. My mistake.In any case I am looking for help on the Auto LSD
button which as you stated you are not familiar with.Thanks for your advice
on 4 wheel drive systems!
