A 2-speed rear axle is usually used in medium to heavy duty trucks to obtain a little better fuel economy. Low- speed gives more power to initially start heavy loads. Hi- speed is used after vehicle is in motion. Low speed is as stated low speed, but hi power. Hi speed is higher speed but less power delivered to the drive wheels. I am not sure of the actual ratio numbers.

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.
What would cause the speedometer not to work on a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500?
Speed senor in rear differential failed. for mine, the speed sensor broke off limited-slip gear box and broke sensor in a million pieces. Had to replace my differential.

Two speed motor on planetary no spin differential?
A two-speed motor in a planetary no-spin differential setup allows for variable torque and speed output while maintaining optimal efficiency. In this configuration, the differential enables power distribution to the wheels while preventing unwanted spin, particularly useful in all-wheel-drive systems. The motor can switch between two distinct speed settings, providing flexibility for different driving conditions, improving traction, and enhancing vehicle performance. Overall, this setup balances power and control effectively.
Where is the speed sensor on a 1994 Ford Bronco?
Speed sensor is on the rear differential.
How many speed sensor Chevy Avalanche have?
The Chevy Avalanche typically has two speed sensors: one in the transmission and another in the rear differential. The transmission speed sensor monitors the vehicle's speed and helps with shifting, while the rear differential speed sensor provides information for the vehicle's stability control and anti-lock braking system. In some models, there may also be a third sensor related to the wheel speed for traction control.
Velocity speed sensor Where is it located in 1998 ford escort sedan?
it's on top of the differential, which is on the driver's (U.S.) side just behind the transmission (the axle goes directly from the wheel into the differential and the speed sensor is on top of the differential housing).
Which type of differential is used in tractor?
A locking differential is used in tractors which provide increased traction compared to a standard or open differential. It restricts each of the two wheels on an axle to the same rotational speed without regard to available traction or differences in resistance seen at each wheel.
What is a two-speed differential and how does it work?
A 2-speed rear axle is usually used in medium to heavy duty trucks to obtain a little better fuel economy. Low- speed gives more power to initially start heavy loads. Hi- speed is used after vehicle is in motion. Low speed is as stated low speed, but hi power. Hi speed is higher speed but less power delivered to the drive wheels. I am not sure of the actual ratio numbers.
What is a rear differential service?
A rear differential service drains the rear differential housing and replaces it with new oil to help the gears turn more smoothly. You usually see them between the two axles going to the left and right of the rear wheels. The differential is what allows the tires to slow down or speed up separately so that one does not drag.
Where is the rear speed sensor on a 2000 Ford Exped Eddie Bauer and is it easy to replace?
The speed sensor ring is in the differential case in front of the ring gear. To get to the unit you will need to remove the differential cover and drain the lube which requires replacement along with the cover gasket. Check to find out what lube you need to use and if synthetic is required. If you are not familiar with differential or transmission work you may want to get an estimate from a transmission shop or your mechanic.
Can a bad rear differential hinder the speed of the car?
Yes and no. It will increase the resistance to the drivetrain and reduce maximum attainable speed. However if only the limited slip differential is bad then there is no real affect.
