How does the locking differential on a Chevy Tahoe work?
First by having a series of clutch plates at each side of the differential case to limit the amount of slippage between each wheel. Second, by using a mechanical locking mechanism to stop the rotation of the right differential side gear, in order to transfer the rotating torque of the wheel without traction to the wheel with traction.

Regular clunking every few feet may indicate broken ring or pinion gears. Banging or clunking only on corners can be caused by broken spider gears, lack of sufficient positraction lubrication, or worn positraction clutches. Rumble while turning may indicate bad wheel bearings.
