Anybody notice weird lock up on their autolocking differential? I recently purchased a 2003 2500HD. It is supposed to have an auto locking differntial. One thing I have noticed is that it has a tendency to squeal tires when cornering quickly. I don't mean at slam the throttle speeds, but at similar speeds to some of my other trucks this one squeals and they did not. This is on clean, dry, asphalt. Is that weird, normal, or problematic? |

I don't remember the speed, but I think it has to be below 20 or so to allow lock up... there are a few other features like how much different the speeds have to be... plus the fact that the other wheel is spinning that alone could keep it from locking up... centrifugal lockup(assuming that's what you have..) is desiged to work at slow speeds... not pulling out taking a right and booking it into traffic.... It's just not meant for it.... Bobo Thats kind what I meant. It has squeaked the tires and then got a little squirrley a coupel times making a quick left onto the road.
