he is talking about a drive flange, i guess some people call them a slug, essentially you dont have to worry about breaking a damn lockout hub with them in, i will not run a lockout in my truck, they are why my detroit broke 2 times within 2 freaking days. the detroit rep who gives me replacement detroits for free told me never run a lockout with a detroit or he would stop replacing stuff for free, actually i dont even have to pay shipping and handlingZzyzx said:What's the difference between slugs and flanges? The axle I got had auto hubs but it had slugs (I think).

Zzyzx said:Ya, I know what slugs are (at least that's what I call em). I have a couple in my toolbox for spares. It just seemed like Lyle was alluding to some kind of difference between "slugs" and "drive flanges."

yogiaz said:Then I would quit running a detroit locker like I did. I have gone through three of them. I finally bit the bullet and purchased an ARB. The Detroits dont like the recoil when soemthing breaks, whether it be a lockout, a ujoint, or the axle itself. I have never broke a lockout, but I have busted Ujoints and axle shafts... and every single time the detroit broke too. The detroit for the Dana 44 is a piece of shit! People claim that the Lockrite is weak... I think is a better choice for the front of a Dana 44 than the Detroit. Several people here in AZ have run the lockrite and have broken shafts and ujoints without any effect on the lockrite. Yet I went through 3 Detroits! And Im not the only one.... I get people sending me emails all the time who have read my write up and telling me they have had the same thing happen to them.
DETROITS SUCK! And not once did they stand behind their product!
Go with a Lockrite if your trying to save money, or move right on to ARB.

so when you get the 8.4 you going with the ARB or a Lockrite? then what up front? FIRST get to getting on a damn .......you know what!YUNADERIS said:hey zac
check the ends of your shafts at the splined end and look for twisting of the splines...let me know what you find, if its perfect or not.... i am curious to see those and to see if they are getting distorted at all
thanks

OK
After i started thinking for the first time today i realized they probaby are the same. I was talking to some local wheeler and he kept asking me slug or flange, i said flange but he said slug... well whatever. you all have the point. Its mostly as a spare, and since i cant afford those purty custom flanges ill have to go with the stockers.... still looking though... Ive called around but some phone people must have been hired from the local middle school death camp.Zzyzx said:Ya, I know what slugs are (at least that's what I call em).
