so i was reading randy's ring and pinion website... and they make spools for our trucks i have 60 in the rear..

they say the spool shouldn't be used on street driving trucks... i know when you have lockers it chews up your tires is that the say reason why they say that about the spools or could i cause some major damage to my rear if i spool it and still drive it on the street

 

At least a locker has the ability to unlock...... a spool on the street would be really bad for your tires, and would be rather hard on all the rest of the differential parts. Spend the money for a good locker.

 

yeah i thought so... lol i'm gonna hold off on lockers tho case i want to rear gear to like 4.56 with my 35s

 

when driving on the street the rear tires need to 'differentiate' or turn at different speeds in order to go around curves. a locker will unlock automatically under turning stress to allow this. a locker won't overly wear out the tires. (it does a little but not a lot).

a spool stays locked all the time, which forces one of two things to happen - either the inside tire spins and hops and jumps, or worse - in wet weather the tires break loose and you spin out and end up in the ditch.

do not put a spool in a street driven truck.

 

There are some Detroit Locker's for the Chrysler 9.25 rear end, cost form SummitRacing is just over $600, plus shipping.

 

i have dana 60s in my truck stewie

 

Parts for Dana 60's are the easiest to come by, and there is a bigger market for them then anything else, due to their popularity. Detroit might be even cheaper for it then a 9.25.

 

My bad biggreen, apparently I wasn't paying attention. $609.95 for the Dana 60.
