when my gears went out the first time they sounded REALLY grindy, since they were so broken. This is definitely very whiney ... is that what it sounded like with your LSD?
Whine is typically from backlashing or the gear mesh. Some gears with correct backlashing just whine because of the mesh. It's a design characteristic, not a flaw. Kind of like how straight-cut transmissions sound like a swarm of angry Africanized bees.

nope - just another beer swilling party fraternity 
to be honest - I just tagged along for a rush party and everyone was so nice so I pledged - then the honeymoon wore off. They were just like all the rest. 
Animal House was filmed @ one of their houses.

each school is different obviously and each group is different. sure there were the everyone looks / dresses alike fraternities & sororities at Towson too; but not everyone is like that and not that I was all that thrilled about all the people in mine either, but it was a good group and we had a lot of fun together. of course i had my non-greek friends too.

a ridgeline is a car jacked up, an H3 is on a truck frame.

The H3 is on the same platform at the Chevy Colorado... It is a truck, but not much of one. I read somewhere that they were adding a V8 engine option for this year. Might make it worth it but it is going to kill the MPG. The current engine (a 5 cylinder) is a joke.

Why GM ever went to a 5 cylinder is beyond me. Maybe they could not justify the expense of the additional cylinder to make it a V6?

why get a truck at all? seriously...
unless you are towing something often or do alot of construction/yard work related things - I'd just get a station wagon or a Hellement (example) like me.
