RandysMJ Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Which of the 2 would be better to run. The axle is a AMC 20 from a J-10. It's gonna have 4.88 gears and tires are gonna be 37" Claws. I currently have both types of lockers but not sure on which one would hold up better. Any info? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Do they make a Detroit for the AMC-20? If they do, that's what I would get if I was running such a big tire. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandysMJ Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes they do. That's what i'll be getting later on down the road. But for now i'm gonna run one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 The no-slip apparently is 'better'. Or is that the lock-right? I dunno, throw in whichever one seems heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 lock-rite... the no slip doesnt ever fully lock. and my brother ran a 33" tire with loc-rite on a D35 with no problems (made alot of noise for the week or two that he ran a 35" but now its a 44 w/ detroit so..) i would say itll hold up, cause itll be much beefier for an AMC20 than for a D35.

wombat Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I wouldn't run either one... with tires like that I would just weld it all up, other wise you won't get any where... LOL just kidding, i would go with the lock-rite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandysMJ Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 I've been doing some reading on them. The no slip is like a lock right, ez locker, ect.... About onlything different in the way they work. Is that the no-slip isn't supposed to rachet through turns like the others. I think i'm gonna run the no slip. I may keep the ez locker for back up.

JOMJ87 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I hate my lockrite in the rear of my MJ but i drive on the street alot. And your right it doesnt ratchet through turns and if it does it slips and slams everything in the driveline. I am even considering pulling it out of the rear of mine. I am running 35s with my d35 and have had no issues with breakage YET but I'm sure i will. Just my 2cents for ya. But it works great in the front for me since i have the Vac disco with a homemade posi lock system. ;) Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
