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.

Why does my tandem axles each have a driveshaft?

Because both axles are powered. You have what's known as a 6x4 truck.. the driveshaft comes off the transmission tail shaft, and it goes into the interaxle differential pinion. That interaxle differential provides torque to both axles at all times - not just when the interaxle differential lock (sometimes referred to as a 'power divider lock') is engaged. Locking the interaxle differential simply locks it to ensure that outputs to both axles rotate at the same speed.


Is the power divider and inter axle lock the same?

What is the advantage of a four-wheel drive vs a six-wheel drive?

Four wheel drive tends to be lighter, and less complex.. with a six wheel drive (such as in the M35, M39, M913, etc. series military trucks), you usually have to have an interaxle differential lock. In normal operations, tandem axle trucks, such as dump trucks, tractor trailers, etc. only have one axle which drives them forward. When they need to, the driver can engage the differential lock to engage the second drive axle. On a 6x6 truck, such as the type described above, the transfer case would be used to engage the front axle.
