Question about operation of factory LSD
I have the LSD option on my ’05 Ram, and I have a question about its operation.
As an example, say I keep making right turns with the truck. As I do this, the left-rear tire is going to be traveling more distance than the right-rear. Do the gears and clutches in the factory LSD release the differential build-up over time and "reset", or will I eventually max out the differential and be spinning/dragging a tire during these turns?
Thanks for any input about this.

No problem. The system allows for this and you won't "run out" of limited-slip.
The auto industry has been using essentially the same technology since the mid-50s and it's well sorted.
Just drive it!
All the best.
