Well so far any serious mudding that 2wd doesn't handle 4wd lo does. And I think with a locker I'll do pretty well.

 

With the detroit u will be amazed with the difference it makes. Just be extra careful on ice or icy conditions. Hindsight always being 20/20 I could have easily gone without a locker in the front.

do you have a locker in just the rear or both?

 

I have True-Tracs front and rear in my 97. Even by swapping the A4WD Expedition front diff you can get a factory Eaton..

 

what is the difference between a tru trac and a detroit locker? do they do the same thing just different brands?

 

I have an Auburn ECTED up front and a Detroit in the rear. Also, im not trying to highjack your thread with my posts and the you tube link. The you tube link shows some of the stuff i have gone through in 2wd with the Detroit. Some of it i needed 4wd. With the Auburn ECTED in 4wd its a limited slip, then when u need true 4wd u can hit the switch for the Auburn and lock it solid. Hardly ever lock it in though. The truck was built to take me back to my cabin deep snow or mud and to take me to huntin and fishin places the average 4x4 cant go. It works really well.

thanks guys

 

rear end went out today already.taking it in next weekend to get it fixed. good thing i got the warranty. only taken it on a trail once and other than that its been on the highway.

 

what happened?

 

So the biggest difference between the Ected and the Detroit is that they Ected can be turned into a full locker with a switch? I'm not sure if that would be worth the extra $100+

 

camo: if you are going to put something in the front, the only way i'd do it is if you chose a selectable locker (electronic or air).

 

not sure i only took it on a trail for mabe 10mins and other than that its been mosty highway miles

 

gotta wait a week b4 i take it in, its just sitting for now

 

So any idea how or what happened?
