 Re: Questiom about differentials.
Operating a locker in the snow can be VERY unpredictable. You *can* get the hang of it and sometimes it can be useful, especially at really slow speeds, but in most cases it will wind up with your tail lights trying to pass you up.
When I got this truck, it had been a while since I had lockers, so I was running around with it locked in the snow. The next thing I knew, the front of my brand new truck was hanging off the edge of a cliff and I was trying to figure out how to recover it... Of course, *THEN* I remembered that I had already learned that lesson in a previous locked rig...
The next time you have a chance, find a big open area covered with snow where you can play safely for a while. Practice driving both locked and unlocked and watch what happens when you give it too much gas when it's locked. Unlocked, you might spin a tire, but the back end won't come around on you. Locked, the truck might as well be sitting on a slicks [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Lockers do have a place in the snow, especially once you are aware of the handling quirks, but if you lock up and drive on an icy road, fasten your seatbelt [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]  |
