<< Another limited-slip approach is Eaton's Automatic Locking Differential
("Gov-Lok"), which is a factory rearend option in many GM-built trucks. This
diff uses "governors" to detect differences in axle-shaft speed, and its
gears are activated by cam weights and friction discs when speeds differ by
approximately 100 rpm, thus sending torque to the slower side. When
"locked," the Eaton unit turns both end at the same rate, much like a
locker. However, spring-loaded flyweights keep the units from locking at
over 20 mph for safer cornering. Designed for stock applications, field
reports say that the Gov-Lok can give up the ghost on trucks that have
modified engines and oversized tires. The unit is also more costly than
other limited-slips because of its complicated design and numerous internal
parts. >>
