powertrax lockrite daily driving issues?

Oh I hear ya.

 

Dude If I were you I would just save up a Hundred bucks more for the No-Slip. Sounds like your on the road more than the trail, so the No-Slip is going to benefit you in the long run. It says on the website the Lock-Rite is geared primarily towards off-road use while the No-Slip is a little more street friendly.

To me it seems like a no brainer... You just posted you drive 4 days a week to school...

 

That's what I'm sayin!!! ^^^

 

ill see what i can do maybe ill get a good tax return this year that i cant get the no slip with.

 

I drive about 40 miles a day to and from work and its all highway. So I offroad maybe 2 weekends a month. I just wanted to more offroad friendly since i am 2WD and i need as much traction as i can get. But thats just me.

 

Mine blew up today.... I will get a picture in a sec.

 

I was going 60 on the interstate and hear 3 loud pops really fast. Didnt think anything of it since it didnt drive funny. Slowed down pulling into a parking lot and the whole back end would lock up and break free and toss the whole back end around. Was making a really loud bang each time the teeth skipped.

 

You can't lock LSD.. And not all taco's come with the LSD.

I would go with the no-slip. I had a lockrite in for over a year and loved it. When I SAS I went with No-slip's.. I don't notice a damn difference, but whatever.

 

ouch yeah i think ill go with the noslip after seeing this. guess there is a reason they say for offroad use mainly.

 

Do you really think the fact that you were using it primely on on the road is the reason it messed up?

 

i bet so cause the lockrite prolll has less give than the no slip

 

No i honestly think it was a defect. It was installed word for word by the instructions and used the gear oil weight recommended in the manual. It was giving the proper break in period before i took it offroad. And at the point when it failed i was driving straight down the highway at 60mph. I in no way was being harsh on it.

 

That is true, it would be different if you were off road and just dogging it or something, i would call up rocky road and talk to them about it and what not, or are you going straight to powertrax?

 

very true. huh maybe your carrier was defective from toyota

 

straight to powertrax. They are the ones who will uphold the warrantee.

 

I hear ya. So did anything on your actual truck get messed up or just the locker?

 

not to thread jack but who has the best price on powertrax no-slip locker first gen Tacoma prerunner ?
