Yes and to add to that quote. If you are going fast on a turn at high speed turn on snowy roads with an automatic locker. All you have to to do is remove your foot off of the gas. And it will unlock when it needs to. No one is going to keep there foot on the gas with an open rear end too.

But here is the good thing about a locker in a situation like a snowy road... they are consistent! If you know its coming, you can compensate for it! I was driving my truck up a short, steep, curvy hill in the rain one time back when it had an auto transmission, open rear end, and factory tires on it. I was not hard on the gas at all but the truck downshifted because I was going up a hill and with an open rear end, BOTH back wheels got loose on me. At least with a locker you know its coming... that surprised the hell out of me!
I just had my B2 up in the snow a couple weeks ago, it's locked front and rear, it handled great, completely predicable, and this is on tight mountain roads with large drop offs.

No the show didn't show anything about a locker not locking. I watched it 2 times. Once this morning. And once later since I was board and I had it Recorded by Tivo from yesterday.
