Rear Air Locker - are they worth having over standard LSD?
Hi Guys,
Just a question in regards to air lockers. I have a 93 GQ TD42 which I am about to get an onboard compressor and front locker fitted to. I have heard that the rear LSD fitted to this truck is very reliable and will get you into and out of most places, so I am just wondering considering the cost and the fact I am doing the front anyway.. Is there any real advantage in having an air locked rear over the standard LSD? I heard that once you install the rear locker it is an open diff and you lose the LSD, requiring the locker to be used more where you would normally be ok with the LSD. I have also been told that with the front locker alone it's all you really need and can avoid extra cost of getting a rear locker if they don't offer any real advantage. What are people's thoughts on this?
