The diff lock only replaces the Diff centre. You need to disassemble the diff and put your crown wheel onto the locker housing so you diff ratio will remian whatever it is now. I think shorties all came out 4.1:1, but i am happy to be corrected.

And if you're doing it yourself, make sure you use the locking tabs and some thread lock on the crownwheel bolts. I've had two crownwheels come "undone" due to the workshop NOT reinstalling/using the locking tabs.

Its a bit of a no-brainer, but it has happened....
