When the locker is set to open, most act like a standard open differential, though some work similar to a limited slip. When engaged the units lock 100 percent and allow zero differentiation in ...

While the locking differential offers the most efficient way to drive both rear axles in a straight line (short of a spool), lockers also demand some respect in wet or slippery weather.

A locking differential, often referred to as a "locker," is a type of differential that enhances traction by ensuring both wheels on the same axle turn at the same speed, even when one has little or ...

So what exactly is a locker? Within your axle there are four choices: an open differential, a limited slip, a spool, and a locker or a locking differential. You want a locking differential.

There are many types of locking differentials, but they all work by forcing both wheels to spin at the same speed, effectively creating a 50/50 torque split between the wheels.

How does a limited-slip differential work compared to a locking differential?

General Motors offers the Eaton G80 automatic locking rear differential on all its body-on-frame SUVs and trucks – either as standard equipment or as an optional extra.
