By far this is the most comprehensive yet simple explanation of different differentials. Thank you, Ben.

What a professional! No errrs n' aaarrrrs, no derailings, just perfect execution of message. Subscribed!

THE best off road differential description ever. This presentation doesn't go overboard with sponsor support. 100% mechanics, installation, application and engineering. AWESOME video. Thank you!

Had a Detroit style locker before in a light vehicle. Annoying to drive both on road and off road. On road it was the worst if not being driven correctly. It would lock in a tight turn if letting off a little on the gas or started to engine brake. Needed to keep a certain amount of power or freewheel else it would lock up shaking and unsettling the car with screaming tires. Off road one felt there was lot of play in the system when in rock or uneven terrain. Very jerky because the wheel has to turn a little before power would be transmitted in the opposite direction. Every time the car would get over to the other side of a stone it would move an extra foot rolling before engine braking worked because of the huge slack in the system. It worked best when driven "hard" because then it would always behave like a spool.

I've come back to this video multiple times over a couple years. Amazing video.

Still relevant and full of good info 6 years later. Thanks!

I've been offroading for over 30 years, I have never seen a better explanation of different style traction devices!

No "ums/errs", just well spoken information. Excellent presentation, excellent descriptions!

Finally understood how TOR SEN diffs work. Thank you.

Well done, informative vid. I like the 'real world' addition of the welded spiders. In 50+ years, I have never seen anyone who makes money selling aftermarket parts be as real as that. If I was still building toys that break parts, you'd have my biz. Good on ya'

Great video 6 years later thanks.

He most definitely made a complicated topic very simple to understand while being extremely comprehensive.

Excellent video.....clear, concise, and easy to follow. Thanks for posting :)

This is the best explanation on the tube. Gracias.

Both diffs just exploded in my jeep tj and this demonstration is way better than a thousand forums and hours of research. Looks like a torsen unit is going to be a perfect differential for my personal needs.

This is a really incredible video. One of the best I have seen on YouTube for any subject. I just want to add that we have front/rear ARB lockers with 110K miles on them, and zero issues except for a melted plastic air line that was replaced with a stainless steel line. No leaks, no icing, etc. We can air up our 2 gallon ViAir tank (110PSI) and the ARB compressor won't trip (90PSI) for ~6 days. With front and rear locker *engaged*, and the Jeep parked, the compressor won't trip until ~3 days. Without the ViAir tank (we have a shut-off valve on the supply hose), the ARB's tiny manifold/tank will hold pressure for over a day before the compressor trips, and about 12 hours with the lockers engaged while parked. Note that we don't typically leave the tank aired up due to condensation and such. Anyway, thanks again for the awesome video.

Very thorough, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

At first I thought it was gonna be a long vid and im not gonna finish it, but when i kept watching I found out that this is The Best Differential break down on the internet! Thanks ben

At last, someone who knows what they’re talking about and presents it in a way that’s easy to understand. Brilliant!
