Please excuse the noob question.
I'm going to look at a deuce for sale this Sunday. It has a sprag front differential, which I've read can be trouble prone. How can I tell if it's working properly? I assume there is no lever to engage 6x6 mode like there is with the air shift trucks. It' just always in 6x6 mode. Is this correct?
When testing 4x4 truck you can engage 4 wheel drive and drive the truck in circles. It's very easy to tell if 4x4 works or not because the truck handles differently. The front tires try to pull the direction you are turning, while the rear tires try to push forward. Would a similar approach work when testing a deuce?
