Did some testing on a Open Diff
I was curious to know if braking while spinning with an Open Diff would have any effect, so I put the truck through some test's that would cause the rear to spin and get stuck. If you "pump" the brake pedal while spinning (with a steady amount of acceleration, don't floor it) it will help get the tire with traction turning so you can get unstuck.
I'm not saying this will get you out of a mud hole or up the side of a rock or mountain, but most people know how incredibly easy it is to get a truck with an open diff stuck, so this can be rather useful if applied correctly.
Works forwards or backwards.
EDIT:
The added ground clearance of the larger wheels/tires is really useful since the stock 4x2's are pretty low.
