You need to rotate the carrier so we can actually see inside the differential.

Gov loc


Open differential

Just look for broken parts, if you have some, it's a Gov Lock.

Hahahahahaha true true!

Nothing wrong with the gov loc for normal use. If you want performance or heavy duty use - it's a grenade.

I agree! I killed the one in my yukon last fall.

You can have posi on the gravel and on pavement only one wheel

Ok, under what conditions does it lock up???

Thanks for the pics Vile, I just WISH I’d either taken more photos, or rotated the axle. It was getting dark when I took the pics, and wanted to finish the job off, plus I was annoyed and wanted to get the job done as I’d spilt diff oil all over my drive after knocking the oil pan.

rotating inertial locks a gov-loc.  It is great for slip on wet boat lauches, mud traction and ice as it was designed for.
It was NOT designed for neutral drops or drat racing.
