Cost me a rear axle |
| Date: Feb 22, 2008 | |

| Terrible!!! won't put one in my lawn tractor. On-road it was almost dangerous, when it would locked up it would jerk the jeep sideways and bang, thought that the axle was coming through the floor. Off-road it worked slightly better until I had to back up and take a second run at an obsticle. It unlocked and then locked up suddenly under power. Blew the axle shaft and destroyed itself to a point it took 4 hours to get the center pin out and removed from the housing. Upgrade to ARB air lockers love them |

Detroit Lockers Are Awsome |

| It has been a while since I installed my Detroit Locker, It is just Tough, It will ALLWAYS deliver the 100% Traction I need when I need it! You can't forget to turn them On/Off and you can still turn! It's On road manners are definiteley not as good as an open differential,the D-locker will let you know it is there. The backslash incorporated into it's design will make changes from drive to coast harsh, Specially on low speed situations (nothing to worry about). Curving Low Speed Small Radius: It will behave perfect as well as you DO NOT change from drive to coast or the other way around. Curving Hi Speed Big Radius: Not even noticiable just a little understeer if you step hard on the gas while changing from coast to drive. Banging: It does bang probably once every 30 to 50 miles not as loud as I have read, but you will hear it AND feel it! (this is part of the design, again nothing to wory about) It's design is much tougher than the selectable competitors as it does not have spider gears. The Detroit Locker is one of the best investments I have done in my Jeep and I would definiteley buy again (I might not need to because it will outlast my jeep!!!, but I might get another jeep jaja) The Off Road improvement was HUGE I deffiniteley recommend it to anyone that does serious wheeling. The only reason I didn't give it all the stars is because of its on road manners. |
