Yes the Spider gears are welded to the cage. I've heard this
referred to as a Detroit locker before, so that's why I used the term
in my post. I believe that is the correct definition.
No, a diff with the spider gears welded to the cage is a welded diff.
Buy a few spare sets of axles, both inner and outer, if you plan on using
this on the street.
A Detroit locker is a limited slip cam and pawl arrangement. It gives open
differential action sometimes, locked action some other times. Usually
accompanied by strange noises when going from one mode to another.
