Differential Lock?

[Vinyl Asylum]

Hello all, does anyone know if there is an option for Diff.Locks for the Tractors? I just delivered a load of Dynamite and backing up the hill in one spot was a little tricky,kept spinning out.Wonder if SCS may have missed it for ATS, as in ETS2 it was not needed anywhere really.

You challenged my statement no back up your claim. get proof

That's not usually how it works. You make a statement, people call BS, you have to get proof to prove your statement is correct. Not the other way around. You aren't "correct until proven otherwise".

whats the matter can not back up your claim you want call someone out you better have proof
little bit of info this truck

this pic whats the axle inter- lock labelled as , could it be no way its a diff lock

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36647383/img.jpg

there is no AXLE INTERLOCK IN ANY OF THE PICS IS THERE cause it was called a diff lock. juat as i said many post ago but i was oh so wrong accoding to some.there your proof no prove me wrong

Me? I've stated the proper terms for these devices. There's nothing to prove. That is simply what they are called. If they were called something different back in the 60's, that's great. But in Geography class, you don't learn about where the U.S.S.R. is located. You learn today's terminology.

That's like saying "God exists, unless you can prove otherwise", or "God does not exist, unless you can prove otherwise". You made the claim, you back up the claim.

That is a dealer listing. It says the truck has diff lock. It doesn't mention power divider. I've also seen plenty of listings that say a Duramax runs on gasoline, so I wouldn't put too much creedence in dealer listings. They are salesmen.

From this pic, I can only surmise the truck has but one rear axle assembly. There is nothing to prove otherwise.

the first link has the pics from the first scroll thru them i did my part now prove otherwise look about 9 pics in unless your scared. stop running from the truth look thru the pics like a man

I see it. There is a diff lock. What about it?

You are saying that inter axle differential is the same as diff lock. You are wrong. There is nothing to prove.

[Crotalus]

there is no inter-axle they mark it as a diff lock you are wrong and can not admit it looking for Any excuse find my prove im wrong i dare you, go find an inter axle switch in that truck go for it. that truck not another lots of pics there find the inter axle go for it. if you can not your wrong. i have driven brigadere on numerous occasion and the axle inter lock as it called now was always labelled as a diff lock, as was common in thrucks or that era and earlier. newer truck the changed the labelling but my original statement didnt specify yr only that manfacturers have labellev inter axle locks as diff locks and that picture and pictures clearly prove it.

LOL, okay man. There's no inter-axle lock in that truck. I guess that means you're right. I'm not even going to mention that it only shows part of the dash, or the fact that you're still wrong. I won't mention that stuff.

[Crotalus]

I never did state that a diff lock and inter-axle lock were the same. i said manufacturers had in some cases labelled inter-axles as diff locks never said they were the same merely that at one point manufacturer used either name which they clearly did and there are enough pics there to get a full view of that dash. back in the day locking diffs as we call them were detriot lockers and other clutch type that could not be disengaged , ive never seen anything but a lodgging truck here have actual locking diffs just open diffs with the inter-axle lock , which in the older models was commonly marks as a diff lock cause it locked the two diffs together, not cause it worked like an arr locker or other type of locking diff. they were not around much back in the day

Yes you did...

Tandem axles will rotate at different speeds when cornering, driving over
uneven road surfaces or when equipped with different tire sizes.
The inter-axle differential is simply a mechanism that lets one axle rotate faster
or slower than the other. Under normal conditions it splits the torque evenly
between the 2 axles.
When extra traction is needed under adverse road conditions, you can lock out
the inter-axle differential. With the lockout engaged (LOCK position), the interaxle
differential acts as a solid shaft and does not compensate for differences
in axle speed, but directs the torque to the axle with the most traction.
With the lockout disengaged (UNLOCK position), the inter-axle differential
operates normally.

now i have driven trucks where the axle interlock is labeled as a diff lock , thats quite common and why i stated manufacters use either term . this is espically true on older trucks

You talked here about the inter-axle differential, and described what a diff lock does.

In reality, the inter-axle differential is a power divider. Not a diff lock.

You can try to split hairs all you want, but you called a power divider a diff lock. That is the bare bones about it. You called a power divider a diff lock.

I tried being nice to you, and stating that your post was otherwise correct, but you want to beat this horse. Well, I believe we've beaten it pretty good.

In the end, you're still wrong, many many posts later.

Maybe you should be a man, and live with it. Hit up the interwebz, and try to learn about truckin' stuff, because while close, you need a refresher.

hmmmm now i have driven trucks where the axle interlock is labeled as a diff lock , thats quite common and why i stated manufacters use either term . this is espically true on older trucks


clearly stated axle inter-lock is labelled as a diff lock. no where does it say functions as a diff lock , huge difference labelled and function are two different things perhaps trying reading without looking for a fight. perhaps you should man up and admit your wrong i clearly never stated and axle interlock functioned like a diff lock. how does I HAVE DRIVEN TRUCKS WHERE THE AXLE INTER LOCK IS LABELED AS A DIFF LOCK equate to functions as a diff lock. i went to say MANFACTURERS USED EITHER TERM , ESPICALLY IN OLDER TRUCKS. Then i provided pictures to prove they did.AGAIN NOWHERE DID I STATE THAT AXLE INTERLOCKS WORKED LIKE DIFF LOCK OR VICE VERSA SIMPLY THAT I HAD DRIVEN TRUCKS WHERE THE AXLE INTER LOCK HAD BEEN LABELLED FROM THE FACTORY AS A DIFF LOCK THEN PROVIDED PICTURES TO PEOVE MY PIONT SO WHERE AM I WRONG.

Simple - in your post, you described the inter-axle differential as doing the things a diff lock does. I am not trying to attack you. Relax. But posting pictures that show half the dash on one truck doesn't really show anything. All I've told you is an inter-axle differential is a power diveder, and not a diff lock. I don't really care what some people call them. That is still the correct terminology. Personally, I would never use the term "inter-axle differential", but what I personally do has no bearing on this conversation.

Can we be done?

explain how that is wrong, not saying it powers all four wheels equally likeLOCKING DIFFS BUT THE THE TORQUE TO THE AXLE [AKA DIFF] WITH THE MOST TRACTION, HOW IS THAT WRONG



A locking differential, differential lock, diff lock or locker is a variation on the standard automotive differential. A locking differential may provide increased traction compared to a standard, or "open" differential by restricting each of the two wheels on an axle to the same rotational speed without regard to available traction or differences in resistance seen at each wheel.

A locking differential is designed to overcome the chief limitation of a standard open differential by essentially "locking" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in unison, regardless of the traction (or lack thereof) available to either wheel individually.

STRAIGHT FROM WIKI SO HOW DID MY AXLE INTER LOCK SOMEHOW EXPLAIN HOW A LOCKING DIFF WORKS. DOES ANYWHERE STATE THAT IT LOCK ALL 4 WHEELS TOGETHER AT THE SAME ROTAIONAL SPEED DOES IT. OR FORCE ALL 4 WHEELS TO OPERATE IN UNISON.

PLEASE EXPLAIN
