[urq] Diff Lock Question

[Schaible, David]

I was talking about a case study with a different center diff...which is always locked, but others can elaborate on that.  I changed my early URQ diff setup to the later style where you didn't have to lock both so I don't have much drive time with them both locked.

Are we talking about locking the center diff or the center and rear diff?
