Locking Differential Operation

Dec 08, 2004 1 Replies

I have a 2003 1/2 ton 2WD Suburban with the G80 locking differential option. Several times I have been in slippery spots and one rear wheel spins just like with a normal differential. Is there some trick to getting these things to lock up? Are they supposed to lock both in forward and reverse?
