Maybe we need a poll?
Is it a
1)3rd member?
2) Pig?
3)Pumpkin?
4)Or is it a SOB when you drop it on your foot.
And I think my distributor is dizzy from all the spinning it does?
And is it a harmonic balancer, or damper?
I vote Damper

And what if the limited slip differential in your Mopar ISN'T a Sure Grip?
You know, because they make non-Sure Grip limited slip differentials for Mopars now? For example, I have a Truetrac in mine. It's not a Sure Grip. Or a posi for that matter, but who gives a crap?
If someone says it has a "posi" then I know they're talking about a limited slip differential. Maybe it's not a "posi", maybe it's a Sure Grip. Or maybe it's a Truetrac. Or a Detroit locker. But, I know what they probably mean right? And you probably know what they mean? So who cares?
And there it is. Motor is the general classification. An internal combustion engine is a type of motor.
So, all engines are motors. But not all motors are engines. Neat huh?

Theses are all 1st world problems. Think in South Africa they sit around discussing this stuff.

Then I realized I had 2 distributor caps in my collection that came with gaskets. So all this time I have been installing caps without gaskets. I am a hack. Just glad non of those vehicles did not have major mechanical failers..
How am I wrong? Can you tell me when I argued this point? A motor, whether electric or internal combustion, does convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. I did not state otherwise.
From Wikipedia
The term motor derives from the Latin verb moto which means 'to set in motion', or 'maintain motion'. Thus a motor is a device that imparts motion. Motor and engine are interchangeable in standard English
This has always been an entertaining debate over the years, all in good spirit.
If a tree falls in the forest..................
.... well then it didn't have the flat u-bolts with the waffle pattern and whoever did the work over torqued it.
Specs in the past were always found in the old blue MOTORS MANUAL books.
And who cares if someone refers to a Sure Grip as a Posi. Just because your mopar spins double rubber does not mean its a Sure Grip. Could be a Trac-Loc. Or an installed Auburn Posi. My truck came with an Anti-spin.
I always assume when someone says Posi it means double rubber and they don't know whether its a Sure Grip or a Trac-Loc. How many of you know what you actually have without looking? Is it original or was it added? Do you say Sure Grip when its an early Trac-Loc?

I usually just avoid the whole situation (since most of the guys I hang out with are multi-cultural anyway- Chevy, Ford, Stude, etc.) and just call it a limited-slip.
In a forum, however; I hate seeing the abbreviation because the grammar and context can really change what's being said. For instance, "I put an LSD in my rear end" means something totally different than "I put LSD in my rear end"...
Same here. When someone starts going on about 383 six packs, maxi wedges, or close chamber heads I just look at them and say "I don't know much about motors". Works every time.

The term limited slip is a description, Posi and Sure Grip are brand names like Xerox, Coke and Marlboro.

Must be only me, but am annoyed when people don't know the difference between a wheel cover and a hub cap.

Don't hate me because i'm beautiful
In my experience, a lot of people called it Eldabrock or another fun one is Hurtst shifters.
And I think that the majority of the vehicles that I looked at over the years for sale had a ''posi'' in it regardless of make.
Also, it irks me when people call the trunk a truck, and tubbed as tubed.
Then there's the people who call their car ''all original'' when it has aftermarket wheels, headers, an eldebrock battleship on it and air shocks.
And a new wavy paint job to boot.
But, you have to give them a brake because the car is ''restored''.
Sorry I axed.
To answer the question that the O.P. asked, I'm well beyond the ''posi'' description of a sure grip rear end.
Whatever...
