Not very well.
I'm sure someone will chime in with a more technical answer.

youtube has a very good video that breaks it down well.  Look up "Inside the Eaton G80 Locker".

The g80 gov locker keeps both wheels locked together until 20-25mph then unlovks and sends all power to 1 wheel. But they are know. To engage and disengage over and over driving down the road and grenade.
