I have a Mahindra pik up with an Eaton rear locker (Detroit auto locker)... i think the diff remains open (unlocked) until there is slip in difference between the hubs, in which it then engages and locks the diff. It’s auto because its constantly always ON, but only engages when the conditions are right... automatically...
@-Awareness3 жыл бұрын
The only negative I’ve found... is when cross axled and slippery with mud, the rear locker will engage and if the front has lifted on side, it can snap the diff lock in and pick the whole front up and turn the rig, landing in an awkward position (torsion bar IFS front end). Avoidable, but can certainly catch you off guard if you’re not ready for it...
@Robert-cu9bm3 жыл бұрын
My understanding and experience with them is they're always locked, but allow either wheel to go faster than the other. IE: the outside when when turning can go faster.

Yeah I originally thought the same thing but upon researching it seems an auto locker actually remains locked all the time, then unlocks when it needs to, eg corner. Here is an example www.whichcar.com.au/gear/what-are-automatic-differential-locks Thats what I understood of it anyway

I could be thinking about this wrong, but pretty sure there's nothing wrong with saying power goes to the wheel with no traction. Torque is fine too, but it basically is the same problem either way in this specific situation (i.e. the wheels in the air spin and you go nowhere). Would be interested to know why you thought you had to make that correction. Also, I think if I were going to go about it, I'd be installing an air locker in the rear, and auto-locker in the front. Air-locker seems to behave a little more predictably than an E-locker according to what I've heard about it.
