97 cherokee sport, 160k miles. i've got an aussie locker coming in the mail for my rear chrysler 8.25. what kind of locker should i get for my front Dana 30? It is my daily driver, i am a student in college. should i put an aussie in it? or is there some other locker/posi that will make it alot easier on my tires......(dont want to wear too much)......i'd really like it to engage only when i put her in 4wd if they make one like that......any comments/suggestions appreciated. thanks in advance guys!!!

 

a air locker would do what you want but its double the cost of the aussie

 

yeah, i didnt specify i didn't want to mess with an air compressor...and ECTED is expensive as well. wondered if there was a locker that self does it without wires or air.

 

a trutrack but it still cost big bucks

 

i have the money, just didnt wanna go electric or air. what does the detroit truetrac do compared to aussie and air and others?

 

Dont know if this may help find what your looking for but http://jaxed.com/cgi-bin/sd.cgi?cat=...cker&submit=go ...Tj

 

it operates like a standard dif until you loose traction
then it will lock with no slip until traction is gained then it will go back to the standard operation

all mechanical operation best one for the money I think

 

My friend has a truetrac in his 97 xj dana 30 and loves it.......He keeps trying to get me to get on but there kinda pricey they are a Limited Slip and work surprisingly well

 

i was under the impression a locker in the front would act like a LS untill power was put to it....like when you lock in 4wd...??

 

just throwing a site out there:

someone else on the site here put up a link to these guys in another thread, and since i have been fishing around on it, i have absolutely loved this site and their prices: Rusty's Ring and Pinion
