truetrac and detroit locker

I'm hoping that Eaton's new ELocker A11301 fits into my 130 Salisbury diffs, or I can somehow make em fit.

How do your ATB's go when one wheel has no traction or say in the air, will the other kick in and provide drive ?

Ashcroft's ATB behaves just like the TruTrac - if one wheel has no traction (or rather no resistance to turning) then the other also will have no traction. As noted in another reply here you need to brake slightly so that both wheels have resistance to turning, which will allow the gears within the diff to engage the carrier and begin to turn both wheels.

The traction control light came on a couple to times up some steep climbs, so I assume that would help lock the ATB diff. I think that air lockers are the way to go for weekend warriors, but if you just want something for touring, sand, mud and just need something to reduce the risk of getting stuck in a remote area, the ATB are the way to go.
