auto lockers
I am in the process of gathering info and parts for a SOA on my 95 yj
6-cyl (I have put it off to long). I am planning on a danna 44 front
axle from a 76-77 bronco and a ford 8.8 from a newer (90's)ford
explorer with a limited slip diff.
My question is if i put an auto locking diff, such as a lock-right, in
the front will it act like an open diff when in 2wd and hubs unlocked.
What i am thinking is that the rear limited slip should give me a good
amount of slippage on road in 2wd, and then, when i lock it into 4wd
offroad i have an auto locker up front that will give me plety of
pulling power.
As I am in the planning and gathering process of this project, any and
all comments, recomendations, or donations :) appreciated.
Thanks,
Donny Bowman

Hi Don,
The Dana 44 from a Bronco will have free wheelin' hubs:

Re: auto lockers
If you have a front lock right, are in 2wd, and have your hubs unlocked,
your locker is basically isolated, and you will not notice any difference
from a stock axle while driving. So there will be no negative side effects
in daily driving.

Re: auto lockers
I'm currently set up exactly that way with my YJ. Except I have the Dana 30
front w/Lockright and 35C rear w/TRACLOC. Yes, when in 2wd the front acts
like an open diff.
