Re: Rear Locker Question

If you are going to run an automatic locker in a full float 14, don't mess with a "lunchbox" locker. The Detroit drops into the two piece open case of the 14T just the same but much stronger. I have no beef with the Powertrax/Lockright/Spartan, etc. lockers and have a Lockright in my Dana 70HD on the dually and a Spartan in the front 60 in addition to a Dana 23 and a Dana 44. I broke an axleshaft on the 23 with no damage to the locker. Admittedly the 10 spline 23 axle ain't much to speak of...
