I need help guys. I cant decide what to run as a traction aid in the rear of my truck. It is/going to be a 98 CC LB SRW with a 400+ horse cummins 12valve dana 60 out front with a eaton true trac, lifted 6-7 inches on 35s. Its a daily driver, tow pig, everything truck. Its used in snow and ice lots too. My thoughts are a detroit locker might not be too bad because of my weight and wheelbase. Any input would be great thanx

I would go with an ARB. Driving on ice covered roads will be a an issue with the detroit but not a huge problem. Since your rebuilding the 60 front get the ARB for that as well. Pretty good deals out there now on two arbs with a free compressor.

thanks i like the idea, however i just put a new tru track in the d 60.....I will look for a arb air locker, however their fairly expensive aint they?

It's only money

You could go with an Ox locker up front w/ the 60 and not have to run air! No go on a 14 bolt ox locker unless you run a D60 rear too.

I love Detroit lockers on vehicles but they do have certain driving characteristics on slick surfaces that could be and issue for a street truck. I had one in a old Ford and loved it but most hate the way they drive on lifted street trucks. I would look into a selectable style locker.

well it is just money...lol.....the OX locker dont make much sense for me cause im allready got onboard air...so ill start saving for arb

well it is just money...lol...

I knew you would see the light.
