I would depend on how often they are engaged, but my experience is that there is not noticiable differences.

YMMV.

From my research, the torque-biasing differentials are better than limited slip.

Regarding limited-slip differentials in 4 speed manual trannies in 2wd Vanagons, what are the impacts on fuel economy and tire wear?

Thanks in advance,
