Jonmalibuss Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Why in the world would you wanna lock it full time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksunshine Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Are you talking about a limited slip diff or a full on locker? If you want a limited slip or posi, Detroit Locker makes a unit called the Detroit Truetrac. It replaces the spider gears in your rear diff. I have one in my Blazer. It works great. If you want a full on locker they also make the Detroit Locker. This unit unlocks around turns (makes a little bit of clunking noise when it engages and disengages) and then locks when driving in a straight line, I had this in a Z71 and liked it as well. They also make and electric locker where you can just push a button and your all locked up.Go to DetroitLocker.com for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtie70SS Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Lincoln Locker...that's good. It does work good for derby cars, although when it fails like my buddy's malibu did there is major carnage, if I remember right it even broke the housing.

I appreciate the feedback you guys rock! Any suggestions on the gear ratio I should look for? I would like a little more umph on take off but I still need highway speeds at reasonable rpms.

kaotik1 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Auburn posi, and step up to 3.55 or 3.73 ratio. Depending on tire size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
