I'd like to interject a bit. I've blown a gov-bomb with a clapped out 6.2. Stock tires. Just happened to be in the wrong place/wrong time. Was pulling back onto concrete from mud turning uphill. Truck started fishtailing on me before I knew it and the outside tire caught concrete at the...
It has a flyweight on it, so it will work in 2wd, 4wd, 4L.
This is a newer unit, so it's a little different between what's in the 1009. But the function is the same.

There's not really a way to select it. (Unless you intentionally increase wheelspeed to cause it to lock, but doing so brings the risk of failure from shock loading) Normal operation, it's just a open diff with a limited slip pack in it. (AKA Posi-track)
Not on a M1009. The M1009 uses a gov-locker. Which is a diff that has a limited slip pack in it, then once up to speed can lock the diff with a flyweight. They aren't the strongest locker/traction unit, as they're commonly referred to as a gov-bomb.

I think we've established the positions of this via the armchair legal defense panel. There's no need to stipulate. If you have information to the matter (paperwork), please post it here.
I have cleaned up the thread and removed the needless comments/pictures/exc. I'd ask that the thread moving forward stay to the facts and not emotion/I told you so remarks.
