Wow. Had no idea when watching other videos, but your richness and depth of your knowledge and the way you lay it out in the simplest way for the viewers is just amazing. Huge respect to you sir!
@Geno Ory and very selectable with his facts
Great job on this vid! I have an 89 XJ with 4:88's and Detroit trutrac's both front and rear, with a dana 44 and 35" tires. they are pretty awesome in the snow and ice, as well as offroad. No hassle, and they handle well on the pavement as well. Highly recommend.
Just got my first jeep and have seen many people mention lockers. Of course I had no idea to what they have been referring to till now. Very informative and helpful. Thanks for the video. Loved the drawing board too
You sir are a hell of a teacher. I can now now only understand how lockers work, but even explain it to my friends.
That eagle screeching in the background brings a tear to my eye
actually, it was a hawk
One of the most informative and inclusive commentaries on traction devices I've ever found. Thank you! So many questions answered.
With lockers I AM SURPRISED at how I do not need 4x4 to get through a lot of terrane
I previously needed 4x4. When in sand dunes etc... in 4x4 with 2 lockers it goes far better with them. I have Ausie lockers and do not notice bad driving or noise. I have not used them in snow or ice but have had no issue on street or off road.
well said sir, I agree with you.
Great educational video on lockers. The last time I welded spider gears was back in 2017 on a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Cruiser. What a great demolition derby car that was.
this video is amazing, learned a lot about diffs that have been confusing me for along time
One of the best videos with detailed explanations I've seen. I know it's not easy to explain a part (or system) and its multiple variations, but you did an awesome job at it.
You guys always amaze me with how well put together and informative your videos are! Awesome job!
Excellent instruction on traction devices. I finally understand the comparisons of differential lockers and their applications. Thanks for taking the time to share this video.
Really great job in your presentation! Love the “Red Board” aka XJ door!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!! Very well done!! I cannot say enough about how informative this was. Thanks!!
The best video here in CZcams about lockers. Great job explaining and thank you for sharing.👍
Thank you for this video. I am new to all this 4x4 technology, but I am learning these upgrades are essential to performance when off road. I have been watching Matt’s channel a lot, and they talk about lockers when doing their builds. Now I understand better what this all means.
I think you did a great job of keeping it simple and some nice show and tell. Good Job.
Great video. Looking at a true trac myself, so I was really glad to hear you like them
This was absolutely the best video I’ve seen on differentials. All this Stuff is so confusing, and some people make it way over the top. You just put me back to school, thank you very much for educating me, now I know what to do. I’m a subscriber now👍🏼
Thank you for the help! Went with front true tack and ox locker in the rear with a regear to 4.56 and chromoly shafts, I'm absolutely in love with the set up in my 2015 jku
This is the best video I have ever seen for clearly and easily explaining the difference between locker types. I get asked about this from my friends and my explanation is always too complicated and/or too convoluted. From now on, I'm just going to send them all here!
Brilliant run-down. Thanks for that!
That is by far the best explanation anywhere you can look! Thank you so much for your time!!!
very informative. I've got an ARB in the rear of my XJ now and have a Lock Right on the counter ready to go in the front.
Loved this video. Wished it was around before I spent big money and cumulative precious time dealing with ARBs. Unconditionally avoid ARBs! Had ARBs installed with gear change into my '87 XJ Dana 44 back in 2004. Was told they were bullet proof. On test drive following installation, front "lollipop" failed because of bad solder joint at seal housing. Shop honored the work, but missed trip opportunity due to additional time required for rework. I've experienced compressor and line failures on every rock crawling trip I've ever taken. Trail repairs inevitable, and I only get out a couple times a year, Moab and Colorado. Two weeks ago replaced third compressor only to discover hissing in rear Dana 44. Rear engages, but compressor runs continuously. I'm considering a lunch box replacement for the rear, something I can install. I totally agree about the simplicity of the Ox locker cable setup, but do not want to re-buy at near ARB prices. Consider yourselves warned, an advantage I didn't have. Google "ARB air leaks".
Don't have any of these issues with auto lockers
Definitely explained phenomenally where any person can decide which to put or take. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas.
The truetrac uses helical gears' own worst enemy to function. Helical gears create axial thrust when they turn eachother, which normally means they require special bearings. The greater force/ resistance of each gear (heavy load) the more axial thrust they create. This axial thrust is manipulated by the truetrac. When the differential is operating on pavement, the gears allow normal function, as there is low resistance to turning. However, during traction loss, one wheel has significant resistance in contrast to the other wheel. This resistance creates high thrust load, which causes the Helical output (splined to shaft) gear to push against the end of the carrier. As resistance builds, so does thrust. The pressure creates friction between the gear and carrier, thus effectively locking the differential together. When input torque is increased, the clamping force, and therefore friction is increased and the differential locks even tighter, but as soon as torque reduces past a certain point, the diff will unlock and resume normal function.
exactly why I didn't try to explain all that on camera!
Truetrac is not a locking diff.
Cody, great explanation of the physics! Tyler, at the very end of the video, you say that the best application for a front axle is a selectable locker. Why wouldn't an Eaton TrueTrac LSD be applicable on the front differential?
fantastic video very educational thankyou for learning me something...
awesome explanation ! im running the ox lockers front and rear on my 2000 wj and love them
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge of differentials.
This is the best overview I have seen. Very helpful.
The most informative I’ve seen. Thank you for posting.
Very informative video. Thanks for explaining the pros and cons of the various options in detail.
Sir, this explanation was awesome! Thank you!!
Very informative, thanks for posting this fantastic video!
Great video, very informative and straight to the point, I really like Tyler , keep the great videos coming!
Great video . I'm a newbie too Jeep's but learning . Been hearing about lockers but now I have a better understanding.
I haven’t even finish this video yet and I am loving it
What a great video...thanks!
An excellent description for the buyer. Thank you.
Great video, very educational, thank you for putting it together! Gunna be putting a lunchbox locker (lock-right) into a CJ-2A (rear).
He is worth every bit of me subscribing he talks in layman turn Thankyou keep up the great tutorials
Great video!! I’m an xj noob and this video was VERY informative.
Simple and clear ,made it easy for me thanks man
In an open differential, torque DOES NOT all flow to the wheel with least traction. The wheel with least traction limits the amount of torque that can be put down on the wheel with most traction. BOTH wheels are getting the SAME torque, regardless of whether one wheel is spinning or not.
This video is amazing. Just learned quite a bit about my jeep. Thanks!
Awesome explanation skills. Thank you sir.
Excellent presentation: good pace, voice tone, camera angles, and demonstration.
Such a great video. Incredibly informative.
After having numerous lockers over the past 18 yrs. From lunchbox lockers to selectibles. When the locker goes out it takes the axle out as well and needs a rebuilt if not too worn.
Having a daily driver XJ I've put a ton of miles on, which also limits your front options.
At one point I wanted to install a hub conversion but it's not worth the $$$.
So my latest units are truetracs. So far VERY impressed. On road is great also, hardly noticed.
Off-road even better. Hells revenge tested and approved.
My rig is built for reliability and takes me every where I want to go. Snow runs are my favorite.
Truetracs seem to be the best upgrade from everyone's comments and I will give it a go in the back of my 92 Toyota pickup, I'll leave the front alone for now since I have a 12,000 lb winch up there for those true emergencies.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to explain in details.
The best explanation, thanks for taking the time
thanks for the information, I liked it,simple and effective
Thank you. Great lesson.
I ran a Powertrax lunchbox locker in my el Camino and it was horrible in the rain. it would send the tail end into the other lane when it would unlock, I cant imagine what it would do in the snow. Was great for straight line traction though and was really simple to install. It would pop when it unlocked and was really unpredictable, sometimes it would unlock around a corner, sometimes it would just drag the tire. Finally just switched it out for an Eaton Tru-Trac and was never happier.
My favorite Jeep channel
I love the description, very informative.
Very good explanation.
Tyler thanks for the great info. Been looking for an explanation like this. Thanks again. Mike
Very, very good job of explaining everything 👍
Great video, thank you!
Outstanding video.
Absolutely the best video and explanation all these type of walkers well done.
Excellent explanation! Thank you!
Thanks for the information Tyler. Never knew what "locker" meant
Thank you so much for this explanation.
Added G2 Dana 44's to my TJ last year. So I went with the ARB'S. I love them!!!! 4.56 gears. will have 35 inch tires next year
I'm pretty happy to learn that my jeep to be has air arb already installed and that that it's actually pretty alright :)
Love the TrueTrac, had front and back in my JKU. It drove great. I'm sad they don't make them for the Gladiator (yet).
Awesome video, great explanations!
Great video!
Cleared up a lot for me
Thanks!!
Thank you for the knowledge
great video I've got a new locker in the back of the Fj night and day difference when off road
Absolutely the best video explaining this shit hands down. Finally! Thank you so much. I just learned all the pieces I never could figure out about Lockers. Funny part is, I'm a wheeler to, big time. But just never could figure this all out exactly. Now I know.
Your the only normal bleeping jeep guy lol
He did use he’s Jeep as a whiteboard, 😂
Great breakdown! Thanks
Great video thanks got my Detroit lockers with help from this video
Thank you this is an extremely informative video I just got my very first jeep Cherokee pioneered 1988 i still have a lot to learn keep up the good work..👍🇵🇷
As always great info. Keep up the good work.
This is a phenomenal video brotha
In my 1978 Dodge Ramcharger which is full time 4x4 (NP 203transfer case) I am running 2 limited slip differentials . I have a Dana 44 front and a 9 1/4 rear axle . For a truck that really only sees muddy trails and fields this setup is perfect .
Love your videos! Learned so much!!
Good Job, was worth my time watching.
Really like the glock mod. Informative vid. Thanks.
helpful information .. thanks for your time to do the video
Thanks a lot for this. Well done!
Great vid. Great explanation. Thanks. Keep it up
Awesome video! 👍🏻 haha i like your "dry erase board" as well
+Jacob Portner Thanks! if they had these in school, I would have paid a lot more attention!
+Tyler Bleepinjeep Haha same hear fella!
Great video ..well explained
Awesome and informative thanks
Thank you. Very helpful
Wow great vid.. For a big truck like my 99f350 there is nothing like the detroits.. I have both ends locked. The truck is a beast drives great no switching no noise. I plow and use it as a work truck...
Very rarely drive in 4wd on the road. Dont need to unless lots of snow.. then under 40 mph usually...2 tires on ice no problem...
i kinda went the backwards way with my jeep, i have a spartan lunch box in my d30, with the right gear oil, i havent had any problems with it, it is completely unnoticeable while driving on the street. For the rear i have an ARB air locker in my ford 8.8, i have on board air so i just tapped into it so it just made sense to go that route.
This makes the E-locker that came on my Cherokee KL all the more bad ass. What was once a $1500 add on for solid axle vehicles is now in my car based crossover.
would love to see the vari-lock added to the limited slip. works great on light wheeling and harsh weather
Thank you that was informative and useful.
..nice informative vid on the diff internals..and the hawk cry @5:37 was a real bonus..
Excellent explanation
Excelent video congratulations...
I have a lock right locker in the front of my jeep and find it is great on road. It essentially doesn't engage until it is in 4wd because until then the front axle has no power going to it. I drive all year round in Ontario with snow ice and slush and have never had an issue. I have a tru trac in my dana 44 and could not be more happier with the pair. Great on and off road manners. Just another opinion
I have a Aussie in my XJ's D30 and when I engage 4WD (231- offroad only) my steering really suffers, I even have a PSC assist ram. I think Im going to get rid of it soon. Does your front auto locker make it hard to steer? Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing...
