I still see a lot of people asking questions about how diff's work. I happened across this neat video earlier tonight and despite it being a Chevy production (from 1937), it still applies today in our Rangers and every other automobile.
When they mention about the spokes not allowing the wheels to turn individually, that's the premise of a "locking diff" or "Locker".
(not shown) A L/S or Limited slip, also known as a "Posi", simply has clutches or othe mechanical means/devices to help transfer power to non-slipping wheels, they do not lock.
But if your still confused how your axle works, give the video a watch, it's pretty neat.
