Lock Right Locker - Part 1: How it works [HD]

[ScarletOrangeMan]

Thank you, man! I've been trying to visualize this so I can understand how different driving conditions would affect it (my new rear-end has one and I'm debating whether I want to keep it or not).

This helped to figure out how it will affect it if I keep it and how to adjust driving style if I do!

i have a 82 toyota 4x4 and i want a lockright in the front, when its in 2wd will it still be locked or will it skid around turns?

could i use these lockers on my every day driver which is also my off road rig and not have a driving issues or should i get a selectable locker

[juliosturup]

Good information!! Finaly really understand!

[2azfeWeb]

I'm a little confused on this. Does this stay locked constantly when power is being provided to the wheels? Say, when driving normally on the road? I haven't seen much to explain how it may or may not disengage and go into open spin as it normally would be.

Excellent video!! Very informative.

Doesit bring down gas milage alot? jw

[gsx44]

sounds nice but is it loud when you turn when the outside tire moves faster

[scorpydude]

Thanks very much! I finally understand now!!

[scorpydude]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! Explains so much!!!

[motoxracer56]

@jdefkon77 no damage over time. many 4x4 shope here in reno have confirmed it

[mtz8709]

is normal to hear a ratcheting sound in the freeway

[350BuickBoy]

Was wondering how these worked. Thank you for posting this, I understand it perfectly now.

[sentineloffreedom]

Nice explanation :) I just looked it up to see if it would work in reverse too and I got my answer :) Thanks for the vid!

[dnohl75]

Thank you so much for this video, i always wondered if i could turn alright with a locker

[exman21]

Does this locks the 2 axles when in reverse the one wheel wil spin?

[KDCvideos]

@exman21 Yes, it locks under acceleration forward and reverse... I've backed out of some deep mud before after getting the front end pretty stuck.

[subWOOFFA]

@exman21 although, in some 4 wheel drives to prevent slipping in reverse, ( i.e. getting out of mud ) instead of the standard \_/ shape splines, they have a |_/ shape, so in reverse the splines are unable to slide over eachother, pretty usefull.

@kdcvideos I know all about that I have a Toyota I crawl with I was just saying ford rangers are junk. I'm a mechanic haven't seen a "good" one yet. My fathers a ford guy and he junked his for a f150. It tows a hell of alot better than his 2wd ranger. I guess if you stuffed a 351 in it and beat the snot out of it a locked rear is nice to have but otherwise what's the point.

[KDCvideos]

@TheDeathCrawler We don't have rocks or mountains in florida, just lots of mud, so the point is the locker helps me not get stuck so much... Toyotas are nice, but I'll be replacing this with a Jeep next.

[firehype2]

@TheDeathCrawler Just to do donuts! haha its allway fun to burn the shit out a 2wd truck;p

[TheDeathCrawler]

Too bad your wasting it on a 2wd ford ranger

[KDCvideos]

@TheDeathCrawler 2 wheels turning is better than 1 wheel turning, worth the money to me, especially useful if you have to tow a boat up a slick boat ramp. Oh and a lot of people put this in mustangs and other weekend race cars to improve traction off the line.

[rangaman86]

Wait wait...... you only have two hands???? That sucks man.... haha good explanation man!!!

[POOTISAWESOME]

does it affect gas milage at all cause im thinkin about puttin this in my daily driver ford ranger

[KDCvideos]

@POOTISAWESOME I haven't noticed any gas mileage drop, but if you put it in a daily driver, beware that it can make some scary noises around turns and/or cause you to fishtail if you give it too much power around a turn.

[ptpiano600]

dang i'm sold haha how much was it?

[KDCvideos]

@ptpiano600 I got it off eBay for like $200, but i think at the off-road stores they are like $380, so gotta shop around.

[ptpiano600]

@KDCvideos alright for sure well hey let me know how it goes next time you hit the mud
