Btw After watching a few episodes of junkyard wars can someone tell me what it means to lock a differntial??? From the way it sounds it might just fix the above problem though it would probably defeat the purpose of it.

Locking a differential is accomplished by physically connecting the two, otherwise separate output shafts so they act as one. In situations where an open-differential would result in getting stuck. . .where one wheel is sleep and the other is getting no torque, locking the differential would make the rear axle act as a solid piece, giving torque to the wheel that's not stuck.
