LOCKERS?

[partpathfinder]

I locked my finder in 4wd lo to move a tree that fell on the house after a bad storm and all four wheels spun. Does that mean there are locker in it and how do I find out if they are factory without taking them out???

Stupid, so I had to ask.

That just means you had real close to equal traction on all four tires.

 

If you want to see if you have a LSD you can just jack up the two rear tires. Then put the tranny in neutral then grab one side and turn it. If the other side turns the same way you have a LSD.(or a PO put in a locker) If the other side turns the opposite direction you have an open diff.

 

If you look on the back of the diff and see an orange sticker that says "Use Only LSD oil" or something you most likely have Limited Slip.

 

If you have an open diff rejoice... You can easily throw a cheap lock right in there with hardly any effort. I went thru hell trying to find a cheap open 3rd... Then it turned out to be 4.3xx gears with it.

 

PS: There's a 99.999% chance that your front diff is open.

Unless you notice some tire chirp around corners, you most likely do not have a locker.

The tire chirping isn't too bad on mine unless you power thru 90deg turns from a dead stop. But then I can't drive too crazy with no rear swaybar.
