LOL, okay. Broken front end stuff. first an axle shaft that then managed to somehow chew up the lunchbox locker. IMHO, lockers are too tough and lock up a bit violently for the Dana 30. If one feels they must put a traction aid in the front with a Dana 30 I would suggest a Detroit true trac. I also think that the locker puts too much strain on the axle housing and that leads to bent Cs and tubes. That is why I think there are so many guys with Rubi 44s that are bending their fronts. The locked axles cause too much strain.

 

Fron my understanding a detoit is great expect you have to make sure your rig is in perfect alignment and tire pressure is exact bilaterally otherwise it puts a lot of on and off strain on the locker. Anyone have any input on if I am correct or confusing this

 

My stepdad has them in his jeep a said the tru tracs also work great in the snow

 

Thank you all for posting! Really helps. So far the true track sounds great! Anybody have any experience with spartan lockers?

 

I don't have any personal experience with Spartan lockers, but they work the same way that LockRight and Aussie lockers work.

 

If you must go lunch box, go Aussie.

 

Why is that?

 

Pricing and service level.

 

Interesting...

 

For the question regarding tire pressure and the DL.... with any LSD or locker you really need to make sure your preasures are the same from side to side. Actually, rolling diameter is what is important. On a locked or LSD'd axle, if your overal diameter of the tires are different, you can increase the wear (read burn out) an LSD and create unusual lock up/unlock of a locker. So you never want to run different brand tires on a locked or LSD'd axle. (mechanical locked) If you run a short spare and have a flat on a locked axle, you need to move that short tire to an open diff axle or rick damaging your diff.
