Default Questions about a locking diff?

What's the best bang for you buck? And where's the cheapest place to buy one? Who makes the best one?

Aussie lockers are about the cheapest. You can only get them from one place. Google them and you will find it.

Are they any good though. I want an automatic one. No cables or air.

Thanks for the help though.

what? They already answered your question about ausie lockers, if you want a power trax then get it. and maybe if you were to be more specific than just "diff" and "lock" more specific threads would come out.

Your Welcome.

Perhaps this might help you refine your Search Skills a bit.

That's one brand. I'm asking about which is the better brand. Which is more reliable etc? Peoples personal experience?

I love the thread police though. Why even have a forum anymore and post? I'm sure everyone has asked every question possible related to Cherokee's. So why ask over and over? Pretty sure the forum should just be read only now because of how every time anyone asks a question people wanna say use the search etc.

You guys crack me up. If you don't have an answer to what I'm asking stop post whoring and wasting time being the "thread police". Move on and let someone who wants to be helpful post.

No, not at all.

You're asking a question that has been covered countless times.

A teenie bit of effort is needed to uncover literally hundreds of threads on this very subject.

I provided you with a link the the sticky on searching so you would be able to better use the Search function.

You've already stated that you were having problems getting the results you were after.

Sorry if you're offended by my attempt to help you. I won't bother trying to do so again.

Best of luck with your project.

I don't have a crappy attitude. I just don't play well with people wanting to be smart asses. I'm looking for help. If you're not helping then move along. Stop wasting your time with little ol me.

Well I took it as you being a smart ***. If you weren't then my apologies. That being said I was asking a question because I couldn't and still cant find exactly what I'm looking for.
