Its due to one differential trying to rotate 2 different tire diameters at 
the same speed. A smaller tire (and its axle, halfshaft and output gear) 
must rotate faster to achieve the same road speed as that of a larger diameter 
tire, so the LSD slips to compensate. Those LSD clutches are only about 
2-1/2" dia, there's only 3 per side, and they have no external springs like a 
posi. It doesn't take long before they're just worn steel discs instead of LDS 
clutches. Replacing them is less fun than you'd think.... Cheers- J Deryke
