I'm looking for more info on them and am having no luck. ARB makes a switchable locker as does Detroit Locker. I don't know of Easton. But if they are claiming the words AUTOMATIC locker, they're just Limited Slip Diffs. They'd have to be, otherwise they'd be locked all the time. They have to sense wheelspin in order to lock. Hence the name limited slip. They may allow for a much lower percentage of slip so it will lock sooner (Nissans LSDs aren't know to be that great which is why the ABLS works better IMHO) but it would still have to fall under the name LSD.
