Rear diff. locking under acceleration...type 44

[Brady Moffatt]

Sounds like it might be a nice problem to have, especially in the winter!

Before I start probing around...anyone been there?

On my 87 5kcstq, I noticed a few months ago that upon hard acceleration, or
going uphill the rear diff light would come on and then go off immediately
after letting up on the gas. Now it seems the diff is actually locking-I can
feel
it kick in, then after letting off the gas it now takes a while before the
light goes out, and i can feel slight "kick" as the diff unlocks. I tried
another
dash switch from an OK vehicle-no change. Any guesses where to start?
