My experience is that if you have some driveline loading then it seems to remain locked in forward/backward shifting situations. Also, I haven’t felt, noticed or observed an unlocked state while testing this on flat loose gravel parking lot doing figure 8’s. But here again, the figure 8’s tend...
That’s just it, there is speculation as to what might occur (base in part on theoretical evidence) but there needs to be more input from real world applications. From my simple observations, I have confidence that this unlocked situation will be a non issue. But can’t really say until better tested.
So, in the spirit of science (I use that loosely) I went out this morning to attempt to get stuck in 4Lo open diffs to test the lock/unlock condition of my front and rear Eatons. My location offered few challenges for the open diffs, but with some effort I was finally able to get crossed into...
I’m sure it’s an unlikely chance, but in my mind it wouldn’t take too much moisture to freeze in a 3mm ID tube. But realistically, there probably isn’t much relative humidity in sub freezing conditions anyway.
My take away thus far from the info and opinions given is that, provided the selectable locker of choice is set up correctly as advertised, the ARB and TJM would be the most “solidly locked” experience. With that said, I have front and rear Eaton e-lockers and have had nothing but a great...
