Dumb question time. I have 97 v6 4x4 with the LSD axels. I keep hearing
talk of "lockers". What is the difference between limited slip and
lockers. The reason I as is because when I've had my dak on loose ground,
there is no "limited slip" about it, all four seem locked together with no
slip at all.
------------------------------
You have a limited slip rear diff. and a normal front diff. Otherwise you
wouldn't be able to turn. Hard over in 4wd will cause tire skidding
because your front axle is locked to the rear by the transfer case.

'97 Dak, 5.2L, 5spd. 36+K
Was driving in snow storm last sat. Pulled into 4WH. When 4WH
engaged steering pulled moderate hard to left. Pulled back into 2WD
but 4WD would not disengage..finally did with a disturbing "pop". Can
any tell me what's goin' on. My wallet is startin to cry already.

Did you get off the gas when you shifted? Also, it is 'shift on the fly'
so you don't have to stop or backup to get in/out 4WDH...low range is a
different matter. All in your owner's manual.
