I thought the diff lock on big trucks not only engaged but also locked each diff, like an air locker in a jeep?
You wouldn't think it would be a problem, and I don't know enough about how they work, but if you think about it, a 4x4 truck has open differentials too unless it's posi or detroit locker or something like that, and they don't like dry pavement. I just know from driving the big trucks, when you're in differential lock there's a lot of "scrubbing" going on with the tandems in a tight turn especially bob-tailing (no trailer.)
