Has anyone seen that Chevy truck commercial where they show the Dodge and the Tundra and how the Chevy is the best half ton on the market lol. Funny that they don't show the F150 in that comparison!!

I tried to find a link to it but couldnt. Who else has seen this commercial?

 

seen it. its also funny that they say there the only one with a locking diff

 

I think they say automatic locking diff.

 

they do have the auto locking diff...my buddy has the z71...i would rather be able to turn mine on when i want then hoping it kicks on when needed...sounds more like a ls to me.

 

yeah i saw the ad and thought the same thing considering ford has the best towing in its class....

 

Not only turning it on, but keeping it off is a big +. I had a Detroit Locker in my '77 and it kicked @$$ except while driving on icy roads. While turning a corner just a little too fast it had a tendancy to kick in, making my rear end swing out from behind me.

 

its the same G80 diff they've used for years and it sucks. **** poor design, and even worse execution. The way it works, it has a counter weight spun inside the diff, which detects wheel slip, meaning one side turning faster then the other, it waits 100 something revolutions before it locks in. Seems like a bad idea to try and grab something that is spinning fast. Anyways the C clips fall out of the axles all the time, and the diff case is weak. But yea

 

nice, il be sure to let my cheby buddy know. That helps expain why this happened...lol



We buried the rears on purpose in 2wd, but when he switched to 4wd he couldnt get out....

i did however

 

gotta love the FX4's locker! quick engagment when you need it.

 

I'm 100% FORD, but me suspects your tires had something to do with that too?

 

yea that helps, that and ground clearance
