Reply With QuoteThose locking pin axles are not the greatest. They only give lockup at lower speeds. They are not the same thing as full clutch style/cone style posi-traction, torsen-quafe or detroit-locker rear end.

OT: Interesting Eaton locking differential CAD mpeg
I was curious how the Eaton mechanical locking diff worked on the Chevy Suberban I worked on over the weekend (had to take the differential cover off to remove the clips for sliding the axles out to replace the wheel bearing seals).
The wheels rotated in opposite directions when both were off the ground, yet it still locks up.
