Does anyone know ho makes lockers for our front axles not all that familiar with them yet any help is appriciated also has anyone ever changed a gear pack what's all involved would like to switch to 456 since I'm runiing 35s

 

several. detroit tru-tracks are popular

 

General rule of thumb on gears, "If you have to ask, you should probably get someone else to do it." Although I'm not shooting you down, its definetaly something that you'll want to do plenty of research on.

As far as lockers, ****, theres so many choices out there. There's cheaper "lunchbox" lockers which replace the spider gears; Aussie, Loc-Rite, Powertrax.

Or theirs full case lockers which replace the carrier with a beefier one, but there pretty damn expensive; ARB, Detroit, OX, and others.

 

Check out justdifferentials.com

They have everything and the guys there are super knowledgeable. They can help you pick out what would be suit your needs.

 

Thanx guys also I have done many gears in Chevys and also in my old cuda and my pos f150 with an 8.8 just wondering if there were any tricks or better ways of doing them thanx

 

Detroit Tru-Trax are not lockers. The Tru-Trax is a gear driven torque biasing differential. It never locks!

 

IIRC, the PowerTrax No-Slip is NOT recommended for the front.

 

Well seems you got the essentials down, you should be all set!

 

its a limited slip and not a full locker.

nothing wrong with a lock right. my dads ****** has a dana 30 front on 35s with a lock right and its going strong for 15 years without a single break.
aussies are supposed to be good too but iv never ran one.




my neighbor does gears on the side, he just got a video of how to do it and taught himself. if your capeable of that then i dont see why you shouldnt do your own. it is a huge pita and even though i can do my own its almost worth the 150 per axle to take it and have someone do it for me.
456s are nice, if you dont drive on the highway very much id go with 488s.
i run 456s on 35s and a little lower would be nice when wheeling.

 

Check out what the black cherokee can do. He runs True-Trac front and back on his dalily driver and climbs over lots of obstacles.

The PowerTrax No-Slip is a locking differential.....not a limited slip diff.
