I've seen other threads about the LSD in snow & ice. I've never had a rig with LSD but I would guess that it's the driver and not the equipment

Plus if it's that slippery where your rear keeps breaking away, drop into 4H and give it some exercise!(if you have it) At any rate, I don't like it when the sales people are trying to make the decision for you.
Regarding DC's hotline: those people are a riot! I'll call up and they'll tell me it's on restriction (of course

), when I ask them what components are holding it up, first they put me on hold for a bit (must be on a different computer, can't imagine why) and then come back with a very inconsistent list.
Sometimes the DC guy/gal is sharp and gives me accurate information. Other times I think they get confused in the translation and give me the wrong component(s). I must say that each person I've talked to is very friendly and courteous. The only reason I get agitated is because I WANT MY TRUCK!!! From what I've put together from the experience, if your order is on restriction, it says just that on the screen. If you want details, it's on another screen or sheet and they look at the list of items(sometimes dependent upon assembly plant) and match what your options are with what's on list. There can be translation mistakes by the DC person. So take their feedback with a grain of salt. If you are suspicious, just call back same day and probably get a different receptionist, chances are they will tell you a different story.
I've also heard two different stories on how often they're updated (by the DC people):
One "theory" is once a week (Mondays)
Another "theory" is every night. Go figure...
Last I called (Weds), DEE was the sole holdback for my order.
Happy hunting,

BOMBERO: regarding your LSD, I remember about a week or two ago it was on the restricted list, so maybe your dealer saw that and realized your order may be delayed and he'd lose a customer. Just guessing... I believe it's off restriction now (or at least that's what my latest call to DC revealed)
