my truck right now is 9.75" 3.73LS on the rear

and 8.8" 3.73open on the front.

i would like selectable lockers for both. a locked/LS for the rear, and a locked/open for the front. (or a locked/LS for the front)

does anybody know of a website that has what im looking for.

i managed to find a selectable for the 8.8. but im having a real hard time finding one for the rear 9.75.

also, can anyone tell me exactly why LS in the snow is bad? please get specific. what happens to steering/traction? whats the problem with it?

 

tnsilverfx4 is going with auburn ected on his truck, so he would be able to tell you all about this kinda stuff. Still kinda new to me. try this site. http://www.4wheelerssupply.com/

 

my brothers 89 ranger has a ected in the front d35, it works pretty good, seems to be a little stiff in the LS mode. just what i've noticed on that application. oh and LS is not nearly that bad as locked in snow/ice trust me just dont run locked front ends on snow/ice

 

Ill have an ected on mine on wednesday. As for selectable rears, ARB might make one, but other than that I think our only current option is the detroit automatic

 

the detroit automatic full locker works great in the rear of my truck w/ 8.8

 

klitch how does that thing handle on the road? Hows your rear tire wear look?

 

ECTED is pretty sweet

 

with 2500lbs camper on my back and 1000lbs of dirtbike trailer behind me i have felt one lurch from a tire being forced forward to re-lock imo. that was a one time deal.
tire wear is not effected greatly, the rear end functions perfectly on asphalt, 1/2 throttle - 3/4 throttle the rear end will not fully lock and roast the inside tire, but at full throttle it will.

the ected is a very nice design, just havnt decided to cough up the cash since i seen it bind up in LS mode on my bros d35
