Expedition Gears

hello. ok supposedly my rear end in my expy came stock with the locking rear diff. Im not exactly sure if it works becasue a while back i got it stuck in the sand, and of course it was the same old front right tire, and rear left tire buried and spinning freely. Shouldnt the other rear tire kick in if the opposite side is spinning, and if it wasnt sould i replace it? i hate getting stuck like that

thanks for all the help

With the rear axle off the ground, you should be able to turn one wheel and the other should turn the same direction if you have limited slip rear end.

If both wheels turn the same way but under load it doesn't work (you were stuck) it could be worn out or you need an axle service with new gear lube and friction modifier.

^Concur. Our trucks didn't come with 'locking' differentials. Only limited slips with clutches.

Its fairly easy to rebuild a trak-loc. They have kits from the ford dealership that you can replace all the clutches.
