Why did they install a new ring and pinion?

[4wd]

@btarrh they installed a new ring and pinion because they wanted to change the gear ratio for the tires. It isn’t always required, but when adding a locker it is a great time to update the gears.

How much does a shop charge to install lockers? and like how long does it take for some body to do it at home?

[4wd]

@kx85kid12 Shop prices and rates vary based on your location. Do you have any 4Wheel Parts stores near you? They are our sister company and have very good techs working for them. They will make sure you have the right parts for the vehicle to work correctly.

We actually carry the entire Lube Locker line for Jeeps. We have used Lube Locker products on personal as well as competition vehicles and we really like the product. Having the ability to pull the cover off and reuse the Lube Locker gasket is a great feature! If you search Lube Locker on 4wd.com it will bring all of the Lube Locker products we carry up.

[crankinozzer]

@4wd How does it affect the performance of the Jeep, on and off road? How does it affect mileage?

[69pechocho]

Tanks, very informative.

@brandon9966 The Detroit Truetrac is an automatic torque biasing locker. Meaning, that it isn’t a selectable locker. To answer your question, this is a permanent locker.
