I have an '02 regular-cab five-speed with a No-Slip in the rear and 31" MT/Rs. The truck is otherwise stock. It is my daily driver. I'm contemplating either a Lock-Right or Truetrac for the front. An Air Locker is out of the question. I will not "upgrade" to manual hubs. I hit Moab occasionally and use the truck for general trail driving.
Are there any side effects with running a front Lock-Right on the street while in 2WD with the ADD front end? Doesn't the locker remain unlocked because it's not receiving any torque from the motor and, therefore, would not click/clang or do anything else?
Is it pretty scary running front and rear automatic lockers on snowy pavement? (I live in northern Utah, but my commute is short.) Will I regret getting the front locker on snowy days?
If I go the Truetrac route, I understand I will need to purchase new carrier bearings. Are those available only from the stealership? How much might I expect to pay for those bearings?
Anything else I should be aware of? I've heard something about an Aussie locker, but I don't know how it compares with, say, a Lock-Right in terms of driveability, durability, etc.
Thanks
Mike
