posi-lok

going-strong · January 7th, 2006, 03:21 PM

I am debating about installing posi-lok on my truck...maybe its just me but it seems like a whole lot of money for not that much advantage

Do u think its worth it?

For just a DD and tow rig...probably not. For a trail rig, yes. Lockers can be very streetable too, you just have to change your driving style a bit so you're not scrubbing the tires on every turn you make.

Are you having trouble with your vacuum disco? Mine gives me fits every once in a while, but I don't think on a DD that the posi-lock is worth it.

Whenever I had problems on my YJ I just took it apart and cleaned everything out... seemed to work for a few more months.

its the vacuum actuator that keeps giving me prolbems

Yeah mine on the YJ did a lot also.

You can replace that vacuum motor for about $50 and that will give you many more miles.

Would substituting squawking or squealing for scrubbing work?

We're apparently misunderstanding each other here.

correct me if im wrong,, but from all the people/stores i've been talking to, they say it is going to be about $150 for my vehical, thats why i was considering posi-lok because its only $50 more

he said nothing about lockers in this post. they are taking about the locking actuator for the front axle.

and lockers are not "very streetable", well except front lockers :o

I just ASS*U*MED that they would be the same price as Jeep aftermarket ones.

Jeep ones from the dealer are $225, while dodge ones from the dealer are $175.

Oh long day...

I had a rear locker in my KJ for two years and it was my DD. It was a Richmond Powertrax No-Slip, and it was great on the street.

My detroit lunchbox lockers are very streetable, even in the rear.

My Detroit is too strong for the tiny MT/R's. Hear them all the time now. The 35's would unlock it without a problem.

Fixed it.
People that ive talked to about these said this exactly "This is the worst product i've ever encountered, I would not recoment this pile to anyone" "i installed it on my truck and routed it per manufactures directions, The damn thing does nothing but bind"
So i think that answers your question..

my father works at a dealership (10% above wholesale) so that is not a factor

no need to throw stones, the stake would kill you fast enough

I thought burning was the method of choice when using a stake?
