I have soo many problems, or so I think. Anyways, I was off-roading and got stuck in sick soft mud, and it high centered. I had it in locked diff, and I noticed that when I was spinning the wheel, not all 4 of the wheels where spinning. Is that a sign of problem with the diff? -ram | ||

unless you have lockers all four wheels aren't supposed to spin at once. | ||

Ahh I see! Thanks! Any recommendations on some front and rear lockers I should look into to start with? -ram | ||

just for the record:
that is a false statement. depending on conditions ALL four wheels can have power, may times i've been stuck in slick mudd and had all four going but the car didnt move because it was hung up. with center diff locked you will have at least one tire per axel spinning when you give it gass. a locker can turn than into both tires or versions of that. rob | ||

Ram, try www.expeditionexchange.com Real nice guys run the place... you might recognize a name or two. | ||

One tire per axle equals 2 tires which is still 2 tires away from being four. I said "unless you have lockers all four wheels aren't supposed to spin at once.", I am aware that a locker gives both wheels on the axle power. When was the last time you've seen an open diff truck spinning all four wheels??? | ||

Well I'm not gonna tell you guys you havn't but in all my experience of being stuck in mud (and I grew up in Louisiana) I haven't ever seen it. Maybe we have different mud down here, I don't know | ||

you got the pics back from that shit yet Will??? | ||
| Ho Chung (Thediscoho) Moderator Username: Thediscoho Post Number: 16 Registered: 02-2002 |
2 spinning? 4 spinning? they are all spinning... so you are still stuck no? | ||
| Carter Simcoe (Carter) advanced member Username: Carter Post Number: 1792 Registered: 04-2002 |
LOL, I don't guess spinning the spare tire would help either huh??? | ||

Ho, "personally like detroit rear and TT front" What is your thinking here. I have always thought ARB front and rear. | ||

Gotcha, you don't like th noise ;-) I understand the advantages of the TT up front vs a full locker (I believe). Still don't understand the differences of the detroit vs ARB. | ||

You were waiting to say that I could tell ;-) I found some stuff on the EE web site and have not had the time to research the ARB vs Detroit. Will do when the time comes, but was just being a bit lazy and thought that I would ask. Cheers | ||

Carter, you must have grown up in north Louisiana. In southern LA, the mud is so goopy I've seen open diff trucks spin the spare. Yankee. | ||
| Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior member Username: Carter Post Number: 1805 Registered: 04-2002 |
nope, Southern LA (just north of Baton Rouge). Granted most the guys I've gone out with were locked but I've still never seen it. | ||
| Matt Taylor (Whodatmatt) Senior Member Username: Whodatmatt Post Number: 28 Registered: 03-2002 |
I've never really seen a spare tire spinning. Or all 4. Just fooling around. But north of Baton Rouge still makes you a Yankee. | ||
| Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior member Username: Carter Post Number: 1815 Registered: 04-2002 |
just north as in 20 miles north, you can't go to far north of BR or you are in MS. Trust me its South, North Louisiana is like a whole nother state . You from the area by any chance??? | ||
