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.

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

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.
