Hi Bob,
Bob, By the way this is a comment/question/chat and not anything else one of my friends had lockers on both front and rear on his 1978 F150 and he swore by them, I mean I have also seen him go in some places that others cant go and I guess that having front and rear lockers would have helped that. His brother tried to follow him up the same hill with the same model F150 with rear locker only and I can remember us singing "All John wants for Xmas is a front locked diff a front locked diff ohhhh a front locked diff" It was kinda a funny but you had to be there.
I see why having a locked rear diff would increase the amount of traction to the wheels that provide the most drive.
I will need this rig to be a daily driver soon and the option of only purchasing 1 diff lock unit appeals to me big time.
I hope some one can give us an answer re the question you and I have asked, if it could be done and by unlocking the hubbs even while in 4wd but moreover I am talking about being in 2wd, then if that simple action could make the front diff act like an open diff then surly it must be an advantage having a welded diff and having a open type operation when hubbs are NOT locked??? Lock front diff in 4wd by using hubbs locked and then when 4wd is not needed we could remain in 4wd on the tcase and just unlock the front hubbs???? Waddya reckon!
Sorry if I have confussed anyone but I have a habbit of repeating myself over in different ways
Geeze Bob could you actually see me tripping over as I was writting that jibber)))
Regards Geoff
