Auto lockers

G'day Doug, just been checking out your web page and in particular Detroit diff locks can you clear up 1 question, are there different variations of this locker.

What did you think i would except to pay to get this sort of job done?

Regards............Stephen.

Yes there is different variations , talk to the helpful blokes at Diff Lapping and discuss to them what you need and where you will use it,
The front cost $1,478.26 on 16/8/04

The Rear cost $1,978.00 on 1/11/05

You will no doubt think it is expensive , it is but it will last , I would not waste my time and money on these $500/$800 or whatever they cost , I do it once and once only/

.

The cost of the rear did include some Diff bearings, they were OK but as they had it apart I had them replaced .

.

Cheers mate.

Hi Stephen , I like many hundreds have wasted $ 500 to $600 on the cheaper brand and have never looked back. the Lock right are made on Adelaide and are very good, I haven't heard one person so far that has had any trouble with them.

Buying an item thats 4 times the price doesn't mean they are better

All the diff locks on the market work in their own way some work better in one application than others.

My advise is to ask who has ARB, LockRight and Detriot and go from there.

I wasted money on oneof the cheaper ones too. I can't tell it's fitted but I keep getting over all the obstacles so maybe it is in there.

Cheers Bonz found a little info about lock-rite except for that there is a cheaper copy of them not made by powertrax.
Checking out ya rig page how do you find your coopers stt i'm useing the same tyre and have just recently noticed it pulls to the left a little.

Regards...Stephen

Hi Stephen,

You asked how Bonz finds the STT Coopers..... I was at the Pyrenees with him and he found them flat.... LOL

Smart Ass ;))

Blaze Blaze Blaze ... the flat tyre at the Pyrenees was a BFG Muddy, the STT's are merely weeks old.

Stephen I haven't had the STT's offroad but have been in the same area that almost destroyed the ST-C's I had and found the STT's to perform excellent. Another forumite, whose name shall remain Lucky, reckons they dragged him up the hill his last set of tyres would have baulked at.

So far I am rapt with them.

Rocky Road 4x4 on US Ebay sell the Powertrax lockrite for about $280 Au. Kills our prices over here for your info.
