With lockers I AM SURPRISED at how I do not need 4x4 to get through a lot of terrane I previously needed 4x4. When in sand dunes etc... in 4x4 with 2 lockers it goes far better with them. I have Ausie lockers and do not notice bad driving or noise. I have not used them in snow or ice but have had no issue on street or off road.

Loved this video. Wished it was around before I spent big money and cumulative precious time dealing with ARBs. Unconditionally avoid ARBs! Had ARBs installed with gear change into my '87 XJ Dana 44 back in 2004. Was told they were bullet proof. On test drive following installation, front "lollipop" failed because of bad solder joint at seal housing. Shop honored the work, but missed trip opportunity due to additional time required for rework. I've experienced compressor and line failures on every rock crawling trip I've ever taken. Trail repairs inevitable, and I only get out a couple times a year, Moab and Colorado. Two weeks ago replaced third compressor only to discover hissing in rear Dana 44. Rear engages, but compressor runs continuously. I'm considering a lunch box replacement for the rear, something I can install. I totally agree about the simplicity of the Ox locker cable setup, but do not want to re-buy at near ARB prices. Consider yourselves warned, an advantage I didn't have. Google "ARB air leaks".

The truetrac uses helical gears' own worst enemy to function. Helical gears create axial thrust when they turn eachother, which normally means they require special bearings. The greater force/ resistance of each gear (heavy load) the more axial thrust they create. This axial thrust is manipulated by the truetrac. When the differential is operating on pavement, the gears allow normal function, as there is low resistance to turning. However, during traction loss, one wheel has significant resistance in contrast to the other wheel. This resistance creates high thrust load, which causes the Helical output (splined to shaft) gear to push against the end of the carrier. As resistance builds, so does thrust. The pressure creates friction between the gear and carrier, thus effectively locking the differential together. When input torque is increased, the clamping force, and therefore friction is increased and the differential locks even tighter, but as soon as torque reduces past a certain point, the diff will unlock and resume normal function.

In an open differential, torque DOES NOT all flow to the wheel with least traction. The wheel with least traction limits the amount of torque that can be put down on the wheel with most traction. BOTH wheels are getting the SAME torque, regardless of whether one wheel is spinning or not.

I guess i am a bit old school here. But for 10+ years i have been running a TrueTrac/Detroit combo. TrueTrac in the front and a Detroit in the rear. I will admit in the MJ with low wight on the rear. In the Ice/Snow and 2wd... You have to be more aware of the rear darting off in a direction you did not want. Especially when you start from a stop.(Due to the fact that the Detroit has a bit of play and then a POP as it engages, Add in a Manual and you can brake the tires free at will) But the Truetrac is great makes no noticeable steering issues. In the dirt and the mud. you can feel that front axle hunting for traction. When in snow/Ice that combo works perfect.. The ARB was the only selectable on the market back then. (To this day not a fan of ARB Personally) If i had to do it again. I would TrueTrac the front and OX the rear. Cable with a OX bypass kit in the tool bag. I have a LunchBox in my 2wd MJ....... Its literally a fair weather truck.. Its fun and will make everyone think your on it as it chirps and barks around a corner, but in the snow/Ice.. its just scary. If its a heavy truck like 8k+ and has good tires the Detroit style is fine.. But in most any Jeep.... Not advised unless you need to drive to the drag strip.

After having numerous lockers over the past 18 yrs. From lunchbox lockers to selectibles. When the locker goes out it takes the axle out as well and needs a rebuilt if not too worn. Having a daily driver XJ I've put a ton of miles on, which also limits your front options. At one point I wanted to install a hub conversion but it's not worth the $$$. So my latest units are truetracs. So far VERY impressed. On road is great also, hardly noticed. Off-road even better. Hells revenge tested and approved. My rig is built for reliability and takes me every where I want to go. Snow runs are my favorite.

I ran a Powertrax lunchbox locker in my el Camino and it was horrible in the rain. it would send the tail end into the other lane when it would unlock, I cant imagine what it would do in the snow. Was great for straight line traction though and was really simple to install. It would pop when it unlocked and was really unpredictable, sometimes it would unlock around a corner, sometimes it would just drag the tire. Finally just switched it out for an Eaton Tru-Trac and was never happier.

I have a problem with ARB lockers. The twin washers inside the air line ring (seal housing) mounted onto the axle spline gear (bearing journal) is so low quality. They begin to leak after a year and start to pump your diff oil out to the air pump and now you have an oil leak from your air pump. And when the leak increases with more wear, your lockers stop locking. You have to dismantle the whole diff to change those washers. And guess what, those also wear and here we go again. They are constantly subjected to friction when the axles are moving. This is a big big design weakness. I prefer electrically operated lockers now.

Open diffs send equal torque at all times, the limit of which is the wheel with the least traction. Lockers don't send equal torque to each wheel, they send equal speeds and up to 100% available torque to one wheel if the other has no traction. A selectable locker is just a spool with a little extra backlash or an open diff. Automatic lockers allow one wheel to "overrun" if needed so jacking up the axle and spinning only one wheel is not indicative of an open diff. Spinning one wheel forward while the other spins opposite or spinning one wheel only using the pinion is.

I just bought a Toyota 4 Runner with some sort of locker in the front. It snowed today so I took it out. It has 35 in mud tires too. So I'm in a snowy parking lot and was trying it out and it worked great. So I took it out of 4 hi and tried driving my it and as soon as I hit a dry patch I almost could not turn. I had to get out and unlock the hubs. I think I might have a detroit locker because I can't hear any poping are noises. When the hubs are unlocked each tire is able to turn independently but when locked go the same direction. Still learning but at least it has some sort of traction adder. I might have to test into it to find out. But I think I'm getting an Ox locker with cable and shifter because it's less to break and easier to fix if it does. Plus I here good things about them.

"If you try to drive a vehicle equipped with a spool in the rear end in the snow and the ice you will not be able to control your vehicle, you will be right off the road." I'm sorry, but that's just not true at all. Two of my daily drivers have had welded differentials and I drove both in snow and ice. In my experience, that's one of the situations where you really want a spool on the street. You don't have all the tire scrubbing and the steering resistance that you get in the dry, but you have great traction. Definitely not harder to control than an open diff.

No both wheels in Axle have equal torque until one side has less traction but only when one has less traction does it make it a 2 or 3 wheel drive depending on other axle, but you but when all level you have 4wd and all the torque is split evenly.. it's not always two wheel drive 1 wheel on each axle they are 50\50 until one side has less traction.. you made it sound like you've always only got 1 wheel drive on each axle but when all level it's 50\50 until turning or less traction

I'm sorry but you are missing the point completely when you say that selectable lockers don't cause lane switching. That's because they cannot be used on tarmac, miss that point did you and auto lockers do not cause lane switching, they are not operative if you have hub locks that are not engaged.

Does anyone have any experience with the Torson limited slip differential? All I've seen on this platform are computer animations and a couple of techs with one on their table, describing it.

Okay I have the trac lock in my rear 44. If I’m getting one selectable locker soon, would you suggest front or rear?
