Opinions on detroit in D 30
Daughter's 95 YJ has 9" in rear with detroit, she now wants a detroit in
the front, I read verying opinions on the YJs Dana 30 and putting in a
detroit locker, I understand if I put one in my CJ and unlock the hubs, no
locker problems, but what about the YJ with it's vacum, some one said the YJ
always has one axle engaged or something like that, and I also read that
something changed with the 95 YJs D 30, passenger side solid axle?
So what's everyones opinion, I'd prefer to here from YJ owners with
detroits in front, or just opinions on Dana 30 with detroit, I don't want to
here about axle swaps, or Currie/Dynatrac options. Thanks.

Re: Opinions on detroit in D 30
The driver's side axle on the YJ is always "engaged", but with the transfer
case in 2H there is no load on it. I don't know whether the axle can drive
the pinion in this situation, but even if it does it won't cause problems.
It will just cause the front drive shaft to turn. This isn't exactly what
you want for highway commuting, but if your daughter's YJ is mainly for
offroad (and why else would it have two lockers) then you should be fine.
That's my opinion, but you should probably talk to someone who has done
this, before trying it yourself.

Re: Opinions on detroit in D 30
I have the detroit EZLocker in my D30 (in a CJ5) and I leave the hubs locked
all of the time. I can't remember the last time the hubs were unlocked
because anytime I unlock them, I turn around in less than 20 miles and lick
them again anyway. I decided that unlocking the hubs was highly over rated.
When your YJ is in 2WD, the front will never know that a locker is
installed.

Re: Opinions on detroit in D 30
Thanks, mine's acually a CJ so I will be unlocking anyway so not worried
about it, but I was worried about daughter's YJ and no hubs to unlock.
