DETROIT LOCKERS AND DETROIT TRUETRACS
L90OOK:
Just a question...
Why would you want a LSD or ATB system that may or may not engage when you do or don't want them too :-s :-k :?:
Why not go for a positive locking diff that you control...not the gound or your left footed braking :?:
...I'll get my coat :roll: :!:
rollazuki:
I tell ya, auto lockers are the devils own invention. I swear they only exist cos people think they cant afford ARB's or similar.
Save up for another 2 or 3 months and buy an ARB. You will thank me for the advice. Itll be worth the wait, to avoid the crunching and grinding you are gonna get from the rear axle from the nasty 'ol auto locker, and the limited life expectancy of its internals.
Honest.
ScrapyJape:
Well i bet what puts most people of is the price of 1 air locker and then having to buy a compresser and then wiring the compresser in and then getting the air line to your diff and then drilling a hole in your axle case..... LSD same as changing a diff.
I wouldnt say no to a set of ARB lockers but i would say no for the near £1000 price tag for having 2 of them in.
littlepow:
Could use a Kam locker. If you don't want the extra ability a compresser provides.
L90OOK:
Devon 4x4 supplied me a second hand salisbury disc braked back axle complete with a new ARB in it, when I swopped from drum braked rear axle. I fitted the axle & compressor myself, neither of which require a degree in rocket science :-s
OK ARB may not be the cheapest but I have the peice of mind that the diff is locked when I want it to lock...plus I have an onboard compressor. :P
:twisted:
