One of four things will happen:
1) You break a axle
2) You spin
3) You bust a U-joint
or
4) You bust a diff.

Do you even know how a diff works?
To answer your question, both wheels will get power under the circumstances described.

You keep on quoting your experience with diff locks. Did you actually fit yours or did you pay someone to do it?

I love this one. Shock loads don't break axles.
. I suppose this is based on your real life experience.

Finally an admission that any any proof of the axle breaking the diff lock does not exist. At least we are getting somewhere.

Still avoiding the question. You can offer no explanation as to why it is the side of the DT with the broken axle that breaks and not the side still producing drive.

Go on, blow my theory out of the water. Explain to me where this energy is stored. That huge amount of energy that is sufficient to blow a DT apart. I am waiting. i am not sure who many times I have to ask for it.

The answer is "no", the DT will not be locked in a Rover with the LT-230 unlocked.
I'm not going to explain this yet again to you. If you ant to read why, look back at my other posts. It in there 3 or 4 times...
|
Finally, you finally agree that the DT is not locked when turning a corner. That took a lot to get out of you.

Another good laugh in this one. Series landrovers are "most vehicles"

If you're going in a straight line, engine breaking or not, the DT is LOCKED. That includes "downhill". In your question, you said "when enging breaking going downhill". YES, the DT will be locked.
Huh? Are you going so fast backing up that the engine brakes your speed?? Do you even understand what enging brakeing is?
I know when I back up out of a parking spot, typically, I have one foot on the brake - or, at least resting on the brake. That's called "BRAKEING", not "engine brakeing".
BTW, it's brake, not break. Break is when you break something; brake is when you slow something..
|
So what you are saying is that because you reverse with your foot on your brake, the DT unlocks. But would'nt your foot on the brake cause the pinnion to be under load. I thought you said that whenever the pinion is under load the diff is locked? Do you understand the forces being placed on the drive train when engine braking.?

When you were including "O" rings as a fault you were also including air lines, compressors, solenoids, etc, etc. So how many "O" rings are there in the complete system? But if we want to now stick to your restricted area of just the locking mechanism inside the diff. Have a look at this and count them. I will even help you..... 1....... 2. I know that this is a bit advanced for your maths level.

Go into your local auto parts store and ask for a rubber "O" ring in the size that you need for your diff lock. Then fit it and see how long it lasts!!!

You went to a driving course that taught you to coast into and through a corner. Go ask for you money back!

You keep on trying to prove your dick is bigger. I already know that mine is and have nothing to prove.

So they recommended Valvoline 90W for rock crawling and off-road work, did they? Keep on using the oil that you have then. Just don't complain about metal filings in your oil and "O" rings leaking.

Still attempting to figure out your interest in this. I know it has nothing to do with where my switches are located. But I was still going to post them last night, as it would be worth the laugh to see you shoot yourself in the foot again. But unfortunately my daughter had the memory card out of the camera as she was getting some photos printed. I might get it back tonight.

Do you really want to get in that discussion? Haven't you shot yourself enough already? More than happy to discuss. Either reopen the thread you are referring to or start a new one.
