Check out this and other Eaton Truetrac Differentials at http://tinyurl.com/lfb2vt . From our friends at Eaton - we take a closer look inside the Eaton TrueTrac and see exactly what it is made up of, piece by piece.
what will happen if one of the wheels lift off the ground? Will the diff still work(the grounded wheel get 100%), or will the lifted wheel spin(get 100%)?
@pogoboy123 Honda's sh-AWD is a front wheel drive PTO system. Instead of one clutch & rear differential, Honda decided to not include a rear differential, and use two clutches, one for each rear wheel.
Honda's system allows for 3 wheel drive. The idea is to not drive the inner rear wheel, in order to generate a torque upon the chassis, and increase rear outer slip angle, to aid in increasing yaw, and yaw rate.
@garciaarmando12 this is a geared LSD, not really the same as the locker you might be thinking of. While OK for offroading, a true locker would be better.
is this locker puting in a front differential and is it worth buying for hardcore off roading how about if your going up a hill or in the mud and turning the front wheels would it still have a both tires spining at the same time ???
@mariusesss If, by having one wheel off the ground, the traction difference exceeds the bias ratio [it does], that wheel will spin.
In such a situation, hopefully brake actuated traction control will help you out. Or if this axle has a parking brake, pull it partially.

so basically this differential delivers power to the wheel that has the MOST traction?

isn't this a thorsen type of gear set

Brake Traction Control + Helical (geared) LSD = Maximum Traction Solution with true auto-locking diff
I have the setup in my Explorer and I really love it
front end: 27 spline, Standard Rotation, Dana 30
Rear End:
31 spline Standard Rotation Ford 8.8
