A open rear diffrential would have helped prevent this (Elbe Hills pinstriping)
I'll expand on this to give the elec-trac a fighting chance.RockRanger said:Jefe has one of those limited slip electric lockers and he was having problems with it not staying locked when he really needed it at the truckhaven run.
I know this is how it works on the OEM installations where there is a traction control computer. However on aftermarket installs I guess I assumed you just had a switch and it was locked or unlocked.dreamr said:It seems that the ECTED is actually an electronically controlled traction device. Meaning that rather than flipping a switch and being fully locked or open, it is a L/S that is controlled electronically. as torque is needed at one spot or another it transfers it there rather than fully locking the rear.
They say that it can adjust itself from a open position to 100% torque transfer. Which is cool, but I am sick of computers controlling it all. I want to flip a switch and be locked not let it decide what to do.

Good pointsdreamr said:No offense to your guy Joe, But you should go to Randy's Phil. They learned their lessons long ago, and recently were reminded with my X.
You are only saving 10-20 dollars on the locker. You will still need the install kit (basicly same as if regearing, remember this replaces your stock carrier) And don't be surprised if you need seals, bearings, or etc.....once it is all popped open (master rebuild kit combines both these and the above kit ). Besides Randy's is the best in the buisiness.
Then have fun installing that huge wiring harness
