RE: No spin lockers In my opinion and experience..... I have ran some pretty wicked country with my 3 way lockers. i think if you have a regular truck they do very well. If you have a heavy frame truck or insert on the truck they don't do nearly as well. At my buddy's place , there is a uphill intersection where turn around . My 9900 would back right around and scratch slightly with nothing in , with the power divider in ,it won't spin at all . Now my westernstar with the frame insert won't back around the corner at all with nothing in , barely with the power divider, not real great even with a 3 way locker in . I used to engage the full quad lock. So I geuss what I am saying ,I'm your truck will do really well with just a 3 - way locker . On my 3 way lockers ,I have always had the diff lock on the back axel. If you have to chain up , the back axel is usually easier then the front axel. My diff lock i use completely different then my power divider. A diff lock when engaged will push the truck straight when you try to turn . A power divider won't do that . I have locked my power divider in for 6 months staight up here in the land of the polar bears . I really don't think it hurts anything . If it does wear the power divider out a little faster , I am more then o.k with that . I think its still way cheaper then the excess tire wear and drive train wear then not using it, when the conditions are right.even on a mountain pass or gravel I run with my divider in. Some food for thought anyway. If it not much more I would still do a quad lock , just be careful the first time you try to turn with it in . User's Signature: The missing link | |||
