    Crawler life has its disadvantages sometimes buddy. I already got mine up and running, out, and broken again. Gotta fix a few things and make some changes to my rear bumper and on top of it got another trip next month and even worse it’s gotta go thru emissions/inspection next month too so I can renew registration lol

    So, I know this is the sas thread, but I see a few ifs guys lurking around here that actually wheel and crawl their rigs. So, I have a question.

    Anyone had issues with their a-trac not working? I noticed mine wasn't working on my last trip to Moab and I can't figure out why. I've checked and tested the switch and it's fine, even jumped it to eliminate a bad button as the problem. Can't seem to find a wiring diagram; so I don't really know where to go from here.

    Anyone have thoughts? Wiring diagram maybe?

    I know it's the perfect excuse to just throw a proper locker in, but funds are severely lacking for that kind of fix.

    Thanks

    Happily accepting donations. Problem is if I'm messing with the diff I'm gonna regear again, so that means I gotta do the rear again too.

    I'm already regeared to 4.56's but plan on jumping up to 37's on my next tires. So the next time I open diffs, I'm jumping up to 5.29's

    Spartan lunchbox locker, or does that atrac thingy use clutch packs and a full carrier?

    I'm ifs, so I don't think they make the spartan for me. Also no funds.

    It’s not a big deal to add a locker in. No messing with the gear setup at all to do it.

    No offense but if you can’t spring $300 for a locker you probably can’t afford to be wheeling your truck...

    Front

    Paying off other debts right now. If I wheel and something breaks then priorities will change. Just trying to hopefully fix some electrical bugs for now.

    And I thought you did have to mess with gears when installing? But I could be wrong

    I'll look into them I guess. Just don't like the idea of it being always locked

    Not always locked. They ratchet when under ~2k rpm or when turning unless there is a lot of wheel spin. Very good manners offroad, not much stress and still allows you to steer. Install is super easy, no messing with gear settings. On mine I had to take the ring gear off to get in the carrier but not all diffs require that. That's as simple as retorquing the ring gear to spec though
