excellent video mowerdog thank you
Thanks for the video been wondering how well the Tru -Tracs work. One thing
concerning automakers, is why don’t they make all 2 wheel drive pickups and
SUV’s come standard with posi. For the ridiculous price they charge and
intended usage it is crazy why they don’t. Use to be about 75.00 dollar
option and nobody hardly ordered it. Most cars are bought off of dealer
lots new and they never have it, the few that do were usually special
ordered.
Good job brother
Nice video! The word “Locker” really shouldn’t be anywhere in this though.
Detroit Truetrac NOT THE SAME as Detroit Locker.
Good work do you do installs? If so how do I contact you
Thanks you made it look easy. I thought it was something I had to pay to
get installed.
how does it drive on the road? i want to do some lockers on my jeep by i
dont want it to be a pain to turn. cant decide if i should go with this or
a elocker
Thank you for the video walk-through! This explained a lot that I wasn’t
quite following from some forum tutorials I’ve read.
Thanks for recording this. I’ve been wanting to put one of these in my ’96
F150 because it gets stuck in my driveway after a good rain.
full synthetic is no good it says do not use full synthetic or any
additiives bc it will kill the performance. thats directly from eaton
for non mechanic you did a great job
You managed camera work, verbal description, and one handed mechanical work
in an expert fashion. It’s something I’d have difficulty with. Excellent
job. Thanks.
That was the best instructional video ive seen on youtube , good job. I
get it now .
Rather enjoyed this video, great job.
Thank you for posting this, I needed to make sure this was a good
alternative to an arb air locker. I understand the differences but from
what you have shown this is good enough for my needs
Good job brother
Not poo pooing your video.!
I’m a lic. Tech.. And I Work in trhe BC mountains . I drive 100km on snowy
roads most drive 40km.
The reason .4 Studded winter tires. .
In my experience .There’s Good chance, your suburban would make that
hill with studded tires.
I also drill and stud, any tire. with the right tread pattern. When I was
a young Appretice.
I had stud Ice racing and rally tires. Drill and stud 255 studs per
tire/Stud per lug.
Studs are allowed in BC in the winter months. Up to a certain number per
tire. I push that a bit.
I have JUST ! made it up hills ! In 2WD Stop and go traffic . Only
4×4’s or chained vechicle’s on the road and ME.
Studs allowed were you are ??
What do you think of studding your own ?
Thumps up,
Great work. I am copying it. What number shim kit did you use?
GREAT VID
Where did you buy your locking differential
Check your RPO tag in the glovebox and it will tell you exactly what diff
is in your vehicle
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
You could probably find a cheap beam torque wrench at Harbor Freight,
Cummings or JC Whitney.
Great video and very helpful! I have the same question about the bearing
preload and I saw you mentioned to vettezr1262 that you felt them by hands.
So my understanding is that it does not matter too much as long as the
backlash is good. Am I right? Thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to make & post it.
I just accidentally hit flag as inappropriate. So if you get notified, it
was an accident haha. But I was going to say that I appreciate the help and
I may take the easy way too..I don’t have an inch lb torque wrench that
would work and ive found it very hard to find one that isn’t really
expensive. So I’ll probably take your route by feel and hope all goes well
haha
Good video man! I have the same set up in my 85 caprice. It has the 7.5
rearend with 3:73 gears. that posi unit it has served me well and is very
tuff.
great video, thanks ! 2 thumbs up
If by chance you get just one wheel spinning you can tap the brake and then
it will work. But this is rare. I watched lots of rock crawlers with this
diff on youtube and it sold me. I hardly ever seen just one wheel spin.
