Here is the deal with the gov-lok...whenever a difference of axle shaft speed occurs the little centrifugal weight starts to spin. When it reaches a 100rpm difference (if I remembered that correctly) a little pawl locks the side gears together using a set of clutches. The best way to get a...

Air or electric locking diffs cause both shafts to turn at case speed when activated all the time. Detroits are mechanical lockers which have no activation.

I personally like when it just randomly unlocks one tooth while driving in a straight line. Always keeps the driver awake and serves as a reminder to check tire pressures :)

Unless you did an axle swap, you don't have a detroit locker. You have a gov lock which is about as reliable as a pair of used flip flops. Sounds like something came undone. I will tell you that the gov lock compared to the full detroit locker is complex in operation and not exactly easy/cheap...

That video is not a 100% true, the unlocking mechanism will only work when a small amount of torque is applied. Go around a turn and throttle up, the clutch will engage...this is the fun part :) I don't think it would be unbearable in a short wheelbase rig such as an M1009. Automatic trucks...
