Re: Question about front locker
there have been lots of discussioin on this in the past but most ppl dont have any neg effects of them. of course they advise not to install it on awd systems but I dont think this community is much on following rules.
I've installed 3 of them and they owners mostly enjoy having them.

Re: Question about front locker
It isn't recommended on all wheel drive trucks like the Syclone because the front axles can not be disengaged. The 4X4 front axle can be disengaged, so it is not a problem for every day driving. I'm not sure, but I think the Lock Right has been discontinued for the 7.2 IFS. I have had one of these in the rear of my 4X4 for about 8 1/2 years. I drive it about 60 miles a day with no problems.

Re: Question about front locker
Now, I dont know too much about AWD or 4WD, but I would guess that a front locker of sorts would create steering issues because there is no power bias between the left and right front wheels. It seems like there would be alot of on-power push during turning.

Re: Question about front locker
under normal driving you probably would never even notice it is installed.
