His flashpaq should take care of this. As for the OP, I have no experience with lockers, but I'd say the ESP must be off, like really off, not just press the button one off. If it's on, it'll apply breaks and kill throttle as soon as your tires spin.

And I'd put it in first and shift up if you need to. For 150-200 ft, you might never shift.

 

no it says not to TURN them on going more then 10 mph, you can go more then 10mph with them on, been there done that many times and yes they dont work in 4hi

I wouldnt put an auto in 1st gear, put it in drive with over drive off, 1st gear will wind out to fast in 4low with a rubi and you will loose all forward momentum, speed will give you the best chance of getting thru with locker, I dont think rubi in 4 low will give you enough speed to go 150-200ft....if you look at all the built rigs that mug bog race they dont go slow lol

FYI you have to have the superchips plugged in to turn on the locker in 4hi

 

I could due it with RubyDoo 4Hi start in 1st then hit second fast and MAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have been in and out of mud races for about 10+ years on both flat track and hill and hole types. My mud racers have always been small block chevy's and I've run everything from open diffs to posi's to a rear locker but I think the same would hold true here. 4hi, 2nd gear, skinny peddle down, ESP off. The key is getting your wheel speed up to keep up your momentum. I would not run the front locker because if the track dries out or you get sideways and you hit it wrong it could be bad. Make sure that you're intake is water resistant the factory air box will be good. If your stock you have no worries about water/mud in the wrong places. Double check all of your vent tube though to make sure they won't suck up any crud. Talk with some of the old guys at the pits and get their take on the track and stuff. That will be the best source of information about your specific track and stuff. Good luck!

 

thanks for the info guys..

i've been in the pits before with my cousin who runs a modified chevy (super fast)

if i get the chance to get in, i will for sure have pics. i might not be able to get in this next week as i am a football coach and will more then likely be back at school working

i'll keep you posted

 

so what happen?

 

If you can only lock in one, I'd say go front. The front end has more weight and will grab better. In the old days with the Willys, if we ever had to chain up due to heavy, deep snow, we'd always chain up the front.

 

we ended up not going because all of the jeeps we wanted to get in weren't going to go...so when we do it, i'll post pics and let you know what happens

 

Taos has a decent mud racing scene. High HP and big tires.

Our Rubi T-case is for crawl'n not mud racing. The guys who race seriously call people like us, "stuck trucks". You don't get much of a run at it, so you usually you will go maybe 10 ft and have to get yanked out. Kind of boring after the first couple of people try it.

I'm not telling you to not do it, just letting you know what to expect.

Hopefully the "stuck trucks" get to go before the big trucks create the huge ruts.

 

I've never been mud racing ,but Ive been on some pretty muddy trails & muddy water holes and it is a true pain in the @$$ to clean all that mud from the places it gets into.That being said, run it locked front and back , 4 hi and pedal to the metal and hope nothing breaks. Good luck
