Most informative 'Net video in years.

I am going to show this to several family members. It breaks it down so well to it's simplest parts. It's easy to understand the idea but to really demonstrate the principle is great. Especially for the less technically minded!

That's what everyone says...and some of us find them. But over time; that someone who liked wheeling before, is going to start liking it less and less when it comes down to spending your paycheck on a) a Locker or b) a new rug for the living room......

Great video, my wife and I just watched it together. She then asked how lockers worked and I realized I don't know how a lunchbox works. Posi and selectable are easy, but the lunchbox had me beat.

^^ In a straight line it's always locked. one side spinning ahead of the other (like in a corner or a spin-out) pushes the pin into the other side which engages it, and the now-freewheeling faster side doesn't re-engage until the two sides are spinning at the same speed again (like after the corner). The result is all power transferred to the gripping wheel, instead of the slipping wheel. More or less. Give or take. This is probably all wrong. I've had one for three weeks, so I'm an expert on the internet.

I'll probably add that a lunch box or a full case locker stay locked when power is applied. Thats what makes them dangerous in a street jeep due to the fact when coasting and turning it unlocks and locks when powered. So if the jeep is going around a curve and coasting it works like a regular diff, but power applied will lock it and can make it fish tail. Being wet or snowy makes the jolt of locking and unlocking worse and when both rear tires break loose it aint pretty.
