Lots of folks will lock only one hub with a full front locker for three wheel driveability
Whoa that's very interesting! Keeps you out of trouble at speed but lots more traction when you need it. New wrinkle in my brainLots of folks will lock only one hub with a full front locker for three wheel driveability
That's why I would put something like an air locker in the front if I was to do it.Front locker up front sounds like an animal you better be ready for

While I have never actually driven one with one hub unlocked, I have driven many times with a broken and removed axle, still with transfer case sending power to front, this pulls SOO badly I dont get why people keep saying this like they use it as a selectable locker....Lots of folks will lock only one hub with a full front locker for three wheel driveability

The truck I had was a 1980 f150, fairly loaded. It was a rust bucket I got for $300. The front pass side axle and slip yoke were shot, so I tried not to use the 4x4 too much till I got a new axle and yoke. I then had to tear it all down and that's when I found out the front pumpkin didn't have much oil in it and looked a little rusty. I slapped it all back together and it all worked fine, but it did have clutch packs in the frontend. I wonder now if they were rusted fast and I basically was running a spool up front. That truck did some crazy stuff in deep snow.Yes it is. We had an 83 F-150 with the factory Limited Slip differentials on both ends (front and rear). It was new enough they both still worked like theY should.
