A few weeks ago someone posted re: Weddle Eng'g installing a LockRite rear diff in a 2WD vanagon. This might provide some firsthand impression. The VW vacuum locker is definately better, IMHO. tim smith
--- Forwarded message follows --- >From: gmason3058@aol.com (GMason3058) Subject: Re: Experience with Lock Right Differentials Date: 30 Sep 1996 00:54:59 -0400 I have a lockright in my wrangler and it works great offroad. On road it's a little tricky to get used to. The tires chirp and sometimes a low speeds it jerks the jeep back and forth. In the snow you just have to be real careful and not drive stupid. Don't floor it while in a corner especially since you have a pick-up. I chose the lockright becasue of the durability and price, but if I had the money I would opt for the air locker. If you don't have a lot of money you might also look at the E-Z locker by Detroit which is similiar to the Lcokright.
