Powertrax locker

[southernspeed]

white sausages - you mean Weisswürste? This is Bavarian speciality. I don't like that stuff, although I never tried one, they look too weird to me. Did you ever try a "Blunze"? This is typical Austrian. Made of blood...yummy

Quite possibly, we try a lot of stuff there! Blood? Sounds like our black pudding made of pigs blood!
Good luck with your locker! Wiedersehen!

Make sure you order their hardened pin as the stock ones wear fast.

I ran one in my front dana 44 and broke the pins. the replacment ones were only $9. Depending on the axle they can be as much work as a regular locker. on my 44 I had to pull both axle shafts, to pull the carrier, to remove the ring gear, to get the crosspin out. If I had done a detroit the only extra work would have been making sure the gears were set up right.

In a stabdard transmission vehicle , the will be harsher , making bangs and pops more often .

I run a Powertrax Lockright front and rear , the rear for a long time driving my truck daily . I love it

I have a standard tranny in my truck (SM465 ) and I run the loc-rite in my truck and drive it daily. It really isn't nearly as bad as you say it is. I hardly ever hear any peaps from my rear axel. Once in long while I'll here it pop or bang, but its no big deal, anyone with a locker that drives on the street will tell you its normal.

I had a No-Slip in my previous ride (an S-10). It is much smoother than the lock-rite, but more expensive. Most of the added expense is the extra machining and parts for the synchros, as well as the new center pin (which is supposedly made out of some really strong alloy... ). Still, if you want the smoothest automatic locker, it's the one to have.

You sir , nust actually KNOW HOW to drive a stick then

Seriously , the people with the least problems of a locker on a stick truck , were born with the "feeling" and can coordinate the gas and gears in the precise combination .

If I could find the funds , I would put a stick in my Chevelle . Never in my wheeler , a little more control with an auto when crawling , and less fabrication ( hand throttle etc ) to make up for the lack of 3 feet when you need to hold the brake and gas at the same time

I don't think it's knowing how to drive a stick. The problem is while decelerating there is load on the lockright causing it to lock so turning while decelerating the axle is locked causing the truck to buck and put strain on your drivetrain. You can keep it from locking by throttling it in curves or clutching but it's not ideal. I'd rather let my truck decelerate to stops or down a hill by using my gears. I ended up putting the lockright in the front and a Detroit in the rear. and it was fine. I now have different diffs and went Detroit for both.

Some people hold the clutch in too long is what I meant .
