I had a locker in a Bronco. It has some strange handling characteristics. It pushes in turns and when you let off in a turn it lurches. May not be as bad with a long wheelbase. In the traction department, there's nothing better.

 

I live in Arizona everything is straight almost no turns so I'm OK there lol. I've heard that after you drive for a few days you get use to the locker and forget its there

 

Well I can get the True Trac for $470 plus shipping. Still debating on this or the locker. Anyone seen a better price?

 

I think my biggest concern about the locker is how it will affect driving on curvy back roads or moutain roads when I'm being aggressive and accelerating out of the turns. You guys who've had one can probably help me out here. Is it going to bind up the rear so to speak or make the truck less fun to drive in these areas?

 

is that waynes price? thats the cheapest i have found them.

im thinking about getting a locker for my rear end too.

 

Here you go the best of both worlds a air locker around town driving leave it unlocked at the track lock it

Yes that was Waynes price. The only price I've found better is here. $10 more but free shipping makes up for that. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/True-...item20b549e88f

I would love an air locker but its just to much. Plus I would go crazy in town trying to remember to lock it while some Mustang blows me away at a lite while I fry 1 tire like a go-cart

 

Once you have a locker you get used to it and will never look back but yes you an feel it lock and unlock . The rear in my chevy beater is welded always locked all the time every time and cheap too it handles ok just sorta chirps around turns unless you just give it the beans then it gets fun

 

Just go full spool you panzy...

 

Getting on and off the gas in a curve will be noticed. How much the longer wheelbase might offset what you feel, I can't answer. From my perspective, I would only use a locker for a serious off-road or dedicated track machine. It was so noticeable in my Bronco, my wife refused to drive it. But you do get used to it and you just have to realize your limitations.

 

Why is this titled Rear End for Forced Induction?

 

Because must of us forced induction(hotrod) guys require different setups then guys with big tires and lifts etc...

Hence the reason I'm trying to convince him to not invest in his 9.75 and find a 8.8 rear end and build it up. It can be just as strong, 70lbs lighter, and have many more gear selections.

 

i would really like to put the E-locker in the 2010 f150s in my truck! that would be awesome!!

anybody know if they would work?

 

Yeah twinskrewd buy the 8.8 and ill buy your yukon gears and install kit

 

I've thought about the 8.8 rear. Lots of questions I don't have answers to though. Brakes, how much to make it 6 lug, and how much to make it as strong. Got enough power now to twist the shafts in 9.75 and the shaft housings need to be welded to the carrier housing. So it makes me wonder about the 8.8. Not saying I wouldn't do it I would just need more info.
