I have driven a Sierra Denali in all kinds of mud and bad situations, and it pulls grip out of nowhere it seems (uses a viscous coupling, not sure why this model does when most GM vehicles don't, not even the regular Denali SUV), where ABS based systems still feel a little hesitant to put power down, I have no experience with the H2 system yet, but it was just an observation.

Does anyone make an aftermarket LSD or something?


There is a rear locker in all H2's. They are not both "open Diffs". It is a push button E-locker. The front is open though. Basically we have 3 wheel drive. You can get a front e-locker though.
