I'm looking to get a locker in my rear Diff. But Idk whether to go Detroit Locker or a Clutch positrac system. any recomendations??

94 4runner
3.0 3vze, automatic

 

I also need to know the spline count of my axles. If anyone knows that on the fly.

 

Keep in mind that a cluch posi-trac (also called a limited slip differential) is not a locker or even close. Here is a video that might help you understand the big difference. It covers open diff. posi-trac (limited slip) and locked diff. [/FONT] . By the way I am not pushing the brand of locker in the video. You can decide on the many different brands. I am just offering an explanation of the difference between a locker and a posi-trac system.

 

I'd go with a detroit over an LSD.

 

I'd avoid an LSD. Since you're driving an auto you can go with a "lunch box" type locker (Aussie, Lockrite, and I think Spartan) and never even know it's back there until you need it.

 

dunno why the spline count would matter with the exception if your 4runner is a 2WD, any dealer should able to get your the correct locker when you give them vehicle type.

anyway-your axle should be 30 spline, I am pretty sure 2WD (at least older ones) were 27 spline.

I second the Aussie style locker. If you can turn a wrench left or right you can install a lunch box locker yourself (with a dose of common sense and ablilty to follow instructions)

 

Cool video saved.

 

Thanks everyone. gotta new picture of the beast on my profile let me know what you think. lol
