3.73 axle question?

I'm looking to purchase a new '11 F250 and I was wondering if the 3.73 electronic locking rear end is a limited slip?
I could ask the dealership but, well ...........what do they know?????
The locking rear end is a great idea but it shuts off at 30 mph. If your driving on ice and snow past 30 it would be nice to have the limited slip.

Any input would be appreciated.

No, when it is locked its 100% no slip, like a spool.
All the rest of the time its just an open diff.
