Re: Millermatic Locker
....at least the technology matches the time frame of the truck
 ...I remember my Dad telling me about doing that so the rear would squeal going around corners ..

Re: Millermatic Locker
I had a '64 ford truck 9" rear with welded spiders....it was fun, the inside tire would "chirp, chirp, chirp" around corners, I was in high school and it was cool to cruise around Sonic.....one day I had the driver's tire and wheel pass me on the highway, broke all 5 wheel studs and took off
had a single reservoir so I had to just let it grind to a halt (either the e-brake didn't work or I didn't think about it) shattered the brake drum in a thousand pieces, ground the bottom of the backing plate flat and puked the wheel cylinder gut and all the fluid out....I had to go find my wheel in a field....nothing major happened, luckilyit is lots of stress on the rear end parts

Re: Millermatic Locker
This is popular with the offroad guys, but i wouldn't recommend it for a street driven vehicle. Bad things could happen at 60mph when pieces start fly around and get jammed into the ring and pinion.

Re: Millermatic Locker
I have run "hillbilly lockers" in both ends of my rockcrawler for 18 years, with no problems ever. I drove it everyday till the motor crapped out. If its done right, it will last forever. Its hard on tires, but a goodtime at sonic....
