Thinking of getting rear Detroit lockers in the rear of my 03 disco ( yes I have cdl )
I’ve been researching about the front
some say Detroit lockers in rear and tru Trac in front , the try trac is not a locker correct ?
What is a good set up for our discos ??

 

The Truetrack is not a locker it’s more like a LSD. They are a great choice to use in the front of the Disco II.

Favorites I have seen over the years are Truetrack/Detroit, Truetrack/Truetrack, Truetrack/air locker and air locker/air locker

 

for the money Detriot, trutrack is the best value. I have an Ashcroft air locker in the rear and love being able to control when it's engaged and plan on putting one in the front when I regear. I like how my truck handles say snow or ice with no additional traction aid during normal road driving and I've heard detroit can engage mid turns in slippery conditions and if not accustomed or expecting it can cause an unsafe situation.

 

ya I’ve been hearing that a lot that If it engages around normal driving around a corner it can put you side ways and not good

 

I think the added cost is well justified if living in areas with lots of winter and snowy/icy roads. Also nice to know it's locked for sure and no wheel spin is needed to activate them when off road which in my mind would help decrease the chances of shock loading the drive train if it slips and then catches real quick..

 

M I’ve read same testimony for tru tracks / & a Detroit rear if you can get your hands on one.
for me it was the particular style of off-roading I prefer. I like low range, torque, crawling

whowa004 says perfectly, when that slippage is needed to engage, your going about things a little differently. Was just preference for me. A plus was I already had an onboard air for a bit - partially in anticipation but awesome piece of equipment to have and fit

 

I have also been reading that Detroit lockers are soft lock which I guess is not that hard on the wheels when it locks. From reading I guess over the last 10 years they have improved them

 

mid you find your source I’d be interested in reading about “soft lock”
I understand a “Detroit” (not trutrac) is locked 100% - I’ve used a truck with these cpl times

 

Yes I was getting the tru trac confused
after watching a few videos the Detroit is always locked except if the outside wheel is moving at different speed than lock back up

for those of you with Detroit locker experiences
how do you find driving when on regular road conditions? Summer or winter

 

Thoughts on a LSD center diff to go with a rear locker? I've been looking at the Ashcroft ATB transfer cases since I do a lot of snow and gravel roads at higher speeds.
