No no no, what I ment was the locker up front was easier to steer than a welded or spooled front. A locked front is much harder than a open front.

I had to pull my front end apart today because my right front was not pulling even after I put in a set of heavy duty birfields. it turn out that the E Z lock was busted <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> so I just welded it together. So much for locker in the front. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anybody have any idea what kind of birfield would have these markings EMPI TO 1281 415. Thet where given to me from a friend who was selling his Runner. I know they are not stock.

Where that EZ locker bust? When you say welded did you just weld a crack or welded so its locked fulltime?

I just welded it all together so its just a spool now. I took it out to some rock piles and some hills near my house and I miss that locker already. It worked very well, all four tires pulled just like there supposed to. It sure is harder to turn.

I been told that a full Detorit only unlocks at 35 miles an hour. Is this ture? I know that the E Z lock types will unlock when not under load. I would like to put a full Detorit in the front but if it won't unlock at low speeds then theres no point.
