Hi, New here got my first jeep about a 3 weeks ago wanting to put a locker in the rear. I have a Chrysler 8.25 How can i tell the spline count without taking it apart? and whats a good locker for these rear ends?

 

Late 96+ 29 spline early 96 and below 27 spline.

 

Its a 2000

 

2000 8.25 29 spline and welcome to CF!

 

Kinda partial to the PowerTrax No-Slip here...after 2 years, still seeing 3 things in the rear view mirror...2 black marks and a big 'ol chit eatin' grin.

 

powertrax for the rear.

 

When I get the $ it will be either a aussie or spartan.

 

yeah but the aussie would be engaged 24/7 then. i like how the powertrax only engages when traction is broken

 

I like the Spartan I have

 

i just bought a lockright for the front. ive heard locking the front first is better for the street, since when in 2wd theur is no power to the front. and better in the woods because the rear wont be pushing the jeep when turning.

 

In 4wd on the trail a locker in the front makes tight turns more difficult.

 

Have a detroit in mine, pretty happy with it.

 

Thanks I will be ordering one

 

No more!! I can't take it!!!!

 

Auto-lockers (Aussie, Lock Right, Spartan, PowerTrax) all operate the same. The PowerTrax No-Slip is the only one that does not ratchet/click in a turn. The only time auto-lockers unlock is in a tight turn under no or light throttle. The inside wheel is locked while the outside wheel is unlocked. When in a turn, if the inside locked wheel looses traction, the outside wheel will lock the moment the rpm of both wheels becomes the same. They unlock easier/sooner when in a turn on dry pavement. Going straight, forward or reverse, they are locked, period.
