Re: Auto Lockers
As far as I know if they are auto lockers they only supposed to engage when you select 4L or 2L?
Don't think its good if they are locked permanently

Re: Auto Lockers
Dink so daaraan Pieter. Wanneer jy om 'n draai gaan (kom ons se na links) dan gaan die linkantste wiel die stadigste draai. Dus gaan die traction op hom wees maar hy gaan toelaat dat die ander wiel vinniger draai.
As jy nou off road is en jou linker wiel begin gly dan gaan hy vinniger draai en dan die ander ene forseer om teen dieselfde spoed te draai. Dink aan 'n fiets se kok. As jy free laat hy die wiel toe om te draai maar wanneer jy trap dan lock hy hom in plek. Vat nou twee van daai fiets wiele en sit hulle langs mekaar met 'n ketting in die middel en 'n shaft tussen hulle. Wanneer jy dan trap gaan die krag na altwee toe as jy in 'n reguit lyn ry.
Wanneer jy dan om 'n skerp draai gaan, gaan die "free wheel" op die buitenste wiel daai wiel toelaat om vinniger te draai terwyl die krag op die binneste wiel toe gepas word

Re: Auto Lockers
My concern is, if I am going up a dune and apply the juice the diff will be locked. If I get to the top and have to turn but diff is locked, then it wont turn that easily.
Ronald told me that if you tap off the juice a bit it will disengage which will make turning easier, but 90% up a dune you dont want to tap off.
So the guys with Lockrites and True tracs in front , what is your experience regarding the drive ability of an auto locker?

Re: Auto Lockers
Ek het self n lockrite voor in, en dit maak dat die hilux baie moeilik bestuur. Ja as jy gas gee, dan WIL die perd net reguit gaan. Ek het self nog nie duine gaan ry nie. Maar as ek by n skerp draai kom, dan disengage ek net gou een hub. Weet nie wat jy op die duine gaan doen nie.

Re: Auto Lockers
Ek persoonlik hou glad nie van die idee van 'n auto locker nie. Ek wil die keuse hê wanneer ek hom wil gebruik en wanneer nie.
En my persoonlike gevoel is vir algemene gebruik wil jy juis nie 'n locker in sand gebruik nie

Re: Auto Lockers
Ek ry al 9 jaar met auto lockers, ek hou nie van n "Selectable" lock voor nie, al my voertuie kry autolockers voor in.
Jy moet jou bestuurstyl effens verander, veral op die duine moet jy meer agresief met die stuur en petrol wees.
Om maklik te verduidelik; As daar meer krag van die propshaft af kom, bly hy ge-lock, as daar meer krag van die wiel af kom, unlock net daai wiel, die ander een bly trek. As jy om n skerp draai wil gaan op harde terein, los die petrol bietjie, as jy skerp wil draai op sand, trap hom plat en draai.
As jy hom eers gewoond is sal jy nie sonder hom ry nie.

Re: Auto Lockers
Is dit nie juis hoekom die manne met out lockers so gereeld hulle birfields breek in die duine nie?as jy skerp wil draai op sand, trap hom plat en draai.

Re: Auto Lockers
Wat my pla van lockers in sand is dat wanneer jy nou om 'n draai gaan wil altwee wiele teen dieselfde spoed draa. So either een wiel gaan wil grou of altwee gelyk. So as jou momentum nie reg is nie gaat jy maklikeer jouself vasgrou. Reguit lyn is nou weer anders

Re: Auto Lockers
Ek ken lockrite beter, maar hulle werk dieselfde.
Dit maak nie saak of altwee ewe veel spin nie, hy trek sy kop mooi om.
As jy in diep spore ry, is n voor locker al wat jou daaruit kan trek, n agter locker help jou net dieper die moeilikheid in.
My buurman ry al meer as 8 jaar met sy voor locker in sy 2.7 sonder om iets te breek.
Dis net spring en land sonder om jou regtervoet af te haal of in die hoek draai, rev en die clutch pop wat birfields breek.

Re: Auto Lockers
Dankie Hoppy, ek begin nou beter voel oor die saak
Ek kan die TrueTrac vir R6500.00 (net een in voorraad) kry en LockRite vir R4500.00 sou jy die ekstra R2k betaal vir TrueTrac of 'n maand wag vir die goedkoper LockRite

Re: Auto Lockers
The locker is always ready to self-engage when power is transmitted through the prop. I've got a lockright in the rear of the SFA, a pain to drive around in town. Bought a second one for the front from Ronald last year or before. Will fit second one to the front, but will remove the rear and fit selectable.SWARTLUX wrote:As far as I know if they are auto lockers they only supposed to engage when you select 4L or 2L?
Don't think its good if they are locked permanently
Rather fit to the front, and and sacrifice drivability in 4x4 that having it in the rear, and suffer in town.
These auto lockers are strong. They only break when in the front turning sharply when putting foot.
