Locking down the front
#8
Money, what money. I havent even had gas money to drive my rig around the yard. :crying:
I consider the E-locker or electrac to be so close to the cost of a regular detroit locker that I would spend a little extra to get the ability to unlock the front end. Most times I dont need the locked front (one reason I still have the powerloc), but when I do I wish it were there. The one downfall of a locker is its much easyer to brake the shafts or ujoints. So when I do upgrade I will also have to get some chromo shafts and good joints.
I have a detroit in the rear, with 31 spline dutchman shafts. Its slightly wider than the stock axles. It powers me threw most things, but last time on kodak rock I was spinning the front tire in the air. So this could be the end of my powerloc( at least untill I rebuild it).
With things as bad as they are at the dealership it will be a while before I can do much, but that is realy all I have left I want to modify from where it is.
For your engine, and driving style, I would go with a lock right. They are an easy install, with no changes to the gears required. If you brake that, then you need something stronger. But that could be some time. Confusedupergrin:
