[QUOTE="highway420, post: 1402109, member: 26764"] LOL ok, well..Right back at you. o_O What year is your Jeep? Rubi model has changed things over the years.. I have a 2006 model that had different lockers. First, my rear [I]is [/I]a limited slip. It's called a mechanical-helical gear limited slip...doesn't mean it 'locked up'.. it didn't have the normal spider gear setup and was able to vector the output. Info was also according to the factory spec and manual. They were also air lockers ( which rumored to be made by ARB as they operated identically to - but worked on 7 PSI instead of the 15-20) And finally, yes, the front went on first and could be on only. How i know this? Well, driving it, reading the manual, and oh yeah..when I re-wired the factory switch to put rear on first. The newer more chinese E locs you guys got work differently and may not have the fancy limited slip the TJ/LJ's had. I don't agree with having to lock front first, and this is prob why they changed it as nobody really knows how to steer a locked axle well. This is also why I changed it... in part cause I wanted it send out rear end while blasting around soft ground and flat areas, but mostly didn't like how the front went on first. That's when Jeep still had the inline 6 and domestic dana 44's and not the imports. I totally agree with this. This is the correct way to use lockers. Seen/heard way too many breaks cause people can't control the skinny while locked or just trying to gun it thru. To OP's defense tho, our raptors don't lock the front or use the braking method of locking loose wheel (do they? ) I know it's a torson, which thought is a type of limited slip...? I've only used 4 lo few times as I've done tons in my jeep. there's a weak point in Fords design, our OP had front tires jammed and turned. :console:W/ 500+ lbs of force, can build up rather quickly. It's ok, Ford should fix no prob.--Ford still advertises the shit out of our truck as the badest offroad and can't turn back now. [/QUOTE]
