Since we keep beating a dead horse, I've filed an application to become a dealer for milemarker and warn. I'll see what I can come up with.

I can't tell you how many times I've left the passenger side locked by accident and how many miles I might have driven that way on multiple vehicles. Uh huh Chuck, uh huh....

Nope, wrong again. Here's a pic of the internals from a D60 dodge front end. (I didn't take pics of mine when I rebuilt the front end of my truck. Just the standard conical washer shims. https://venturestruckparts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_7&products_id=220

The "long" axle has a disconnect in it. Effectively causing the same "single lockout hub" effect everyone is talking about. The short side axle is still coupled and causing the differential's spider gears to spin.

The fact is is.... GM fullsize trucks had a central axle disconnect in the 90's. Gm also had this in the S10 line of trucks. Dodge had this as well in their trucks in the 90's all the way up to 2000. Jeep had this as well in the 90's. Even Ford had this in a few trucks. Almost all of them...

Wonder why GM and dodge would have made millions of 4x4's that function this way?

Spinning the spider gears all the time is a good way to lead to premature failure. They were never designed for that!
