auto lockers

Jeff,
"Free wheel" is then the lockers cogs slide apart releasing the
outside wheel so it may speed up to cover more ground around the larger
radius while turning. You know the point where you may gas it, say
making a right turn and it instantly turns left into on coming traffic?
I thought you used a Detroit?

Yes they eliminate the weak points of a differential carrier:

Explain how would a spool have kept her right wheel going up the side? And
how you know the locker wasn't locked?

Not because she wanted to, Or do you think she wanted to climb the
bank to her left.

I think I remember she saying it was Detroits, and it released
turning her right. A spool does nothing extra, but stay where traction
will let it. No surprises on the street either.
