How does Eaton E locker work?
During everyday use or on-road driving, the Eaton ELocker™ differential operates as an “open” differential. The locking mechanism engages into slots or tabs on the differential side gear and locks the side gear rotation to the differential housing. The result is on-demand traction and a fully locked differential.
How do I identify my Eaton rear end?

How does an Eaton 2 speed rear end work?
The 2-speed axle works on the same basic principles, but with an added planetary gear set inside the ring gear. In high range, the planetary gears don’t do anything and the differential works totally normal. This works by sliding a clutch gear meshing with the high range clutch plate.
