On a typical 6X4 truck a third differential (power divider) is provided to distribute power evenly to the front and rear differentials. It compensates front to rear just as an axle differential compensates left to right. Power dividers can be automatically or (most likely) manually locked (via air pressure) when traction loss occurs on one or more wheelsets.

Where is the third differential found on a vehicle?
The third member is the complete removable center section of a differential assembly such as a typical Ford 9".
What is differential in pickup trucks?
The differential, often referred to as the "rear", is the gear housing which transmits the rotation of the driveshaft to the rear wheels. A four-wheel drive truck also has a differential for the front wheels.
How do dual differential axle trucks work?
There are two kinds of setups for this. The first is the single screw setup, which is common in European 6x2 trucks... there'll be one live axle, and the driveshaft will go from the transmission output directly to that differential, and it works the same as a regular car differential. The other axle will often be a lift axle which can be raised and lowered as needed. The other is the double screw setup, which is what's used on 6x4 trucks. The driveshaft goes from the transmission output to the power divider, which is essentially a differential. The power divider distributes power evenly between the two axles, which are both live axles.
Do 1990 three quarter Chevy pick up trucks have 6 or 8 lug nuts on rear differential?

Are differential used in real life?
Certainly. Calculating overtime wages- some shifts pay extra as there is some social displacement- hence ( Differential for night duty) Differential Math has all kinds of applications including- automobile transmissions. Some trucks have the very neat idea of two differential shafts and differential cases ( the after part of the power train, so to speak) these counter-rotate and tame the torque to reduce needless vibration. Some Alfa-Romeo cars had this feature but it is better adapted to trucks. Cranes, too have used this split-shaft feature.
What is differential pay?
Differential pay is pay that is increased due to certain circumstances. For instance, an employee asked to work third shift may get a pay increase during that shift.
What is the difference between differential lock and interaxle differential lock?
Differential lock is a driver controlled locking mechanism which locks the speed differentiation of axle halfshafts in differential mechanisms.After locking, both wheels rotate in same speed.But the interaxle differential(IAD) lockstopsthe speed differentiation of two axles in Tandem axle vehicles by locking the inter axle differential(third differential),after locking IAD both pinions rotate in same speed.
Do four wheel drive cars have a differential?
Yes. They generally have two, one for each axle. On some vehicles they may even have a third differential, in the transmission shaft between the two axles.
What has the author Charles Franklin Bowles written?
Charles Franklin Bowles has written: 'Integral surfaces of pairs of differential equations of the third order ..' -- subject(s): Partial Differential equations, Surfaces
What type of gear fluid for a 1994 GMC top kick?
If you're talking about the differential gears, 75W-90 is something of a default for medium- and heavy duty trucks.
What does differencial mean in trucks?
The differential is that big pumpkin-looking thing on your axle. It allows the two axle shafts to rotate at different speeds (for example, when making a turn).
In an automobile the drive shaft connects the transmission to the?
Differential, many times called the rear-end or third member.
