Well, I finally got a chance to try it out yesterday evening. It seemed to work as I expected. Just a few clicks when I went around a corner. Not near as much driveline slop as the detroit I had in a mustang many moons ago. So far I like it, and the difference in traction is night and day. I rolled into the throttle hard from a dead stop not knowing how it would react but didn't spin the tires at all. I give it a thumbs up for the price. I think a trip to the 1/8 mile is getting closer. Can't wait!!!!

That's a good thing to bear in mind when going around a turn in the rain at 40 or 50MPH - equal and opposite effect: They both spin.

A factory pow r lok does the same thing when you floor it from a stop... its not like it goes open for 10ft or something....

I have a guy's 90 here from NY, I'm doing work to it.

He has 3 of these trucks all with 3.07 rears, every one of them has a Lock-rite and he loves them all. has like 60k miles on this one and it still works amazing. and those are hard NY towing miles/winter etc.......

It's amazing how much faster the truck is with traction

I think a Lockrite and powertrax are pretty much same, and they are easy to install!!

I sent you it once before in a PM. They're on summit.

You just need to pull your axles and find out what spline they are.

Thats right. I've been too busy since then and forgot. All that rum in Venezuala. hahaha

I thought all 3.07's were 35 spline?
