It will hold both tires together pretty well, but its not going to hold them together during a burn out....just during low speed low torque applications
The factory limited slip is a VERY good unit, but it uses clutches and they do wear out.
I have seen them worn out by 100K miles and I have seen them still working with 250K miles, it just depends on the driver and diff service history.
The factory limited slips are VERY GOOD
I have also heard you can stack the frictions and steel plates slightly different stuff an additional friction pad int he factory LS, use the S spring from a F150 (stronger spring) and thus more grip then stock after you rebuild them this way.
I would run the explorer axle, 31 spline, disc brake, rebuild the factory LS with the "grip tricks" and run that...... for the win!! For most peoples use the factory LS can work wonders.....
