What diff should I run in my HP front third member?

[awhotrods]

I trying to figure out what diff to run on my front HP third member.  I'm not going with ARB's, I have a detroit locker in the back.   I still drive my truck on the street too, so I need something that works on and off road.  Thanks for any ideas, please give me some pros and cons too.

Get a rear v6 carrier and lockrite.  Thats what I have and it doesnt make enough noise to even know its there.  I love it.

detroit truetrac,   no clutches to were out , gear biased like a Mack truck rearend

I know alot of guys that run both of those lockers with no problem..

[reklund5]

I agree with WT- run a v6 rear carrier and stuff a lockright in there.  Mine works great!

Get a HP third from marlin with the electric locker.  Mucho Dinero, but man is that a sweet setup.

dont know what you have against arb's but thats what i would run.
love my arb in the front, would love it more if it was a hp third.

I actually like ARB's, just don't want to deal with all the other stuff to make it work.  I really like the idea of running a V6 carrier with lock rite, since I already have the V6 carrier.  Where can I get the best price on the lock rite?  Thanks for all the help guys!!!

[derek]

aahhh i see.
i just run mine off my onboard air.
didnt want to buy an arb compressor.

he already has the Highpinion,   he wants to lock it up the easy way, 


detroit truetrac,    why truetrac instead of regular detroit,   wont blow birfs near as easy

I wonder what would be better, a true-trac or my V6 carrier with lock rite for the HP front???

[WHITE_TRASH]

A tru-trac isnt an actual locker.  Its a torque biasing differential.  It will never lock and stay that way, it will always have some slip.  It is head and shoulders above an open diff but for my $$ its a lockrite or spin.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking.  I'm ordering all my sh$t tomorrow.  Thanks WT

if you ever do any hard wheeling you will hate the tru-trac.
i have a few people i know that have them in the front.
they never grab when you need the to unless you are constantly on the brakes to get it to lock in.
i would run the lock right/aussie/e-z locker/quick lock    or detroit before the tru-trac.
tru-tracs are for people that drive easy fireroads and need a little more traction in their axles.

must be something right about the truetrac,   since Mack has used the design for 50 years

[79coyotefrg]

i have one in the front and  one wheel spins faster than the other but they both always pull    no i dont crawl over rocks  but some fairly rough terrain,  and still have a open diff in the rear

[Rockhoppa]

 I have a lockrite in the rear right now. I have another lockrite for the front that I ran  for about 2 trips but pulled it cause I didnt like being locked all the time up front. Im going with an ARB. Now I have a spare for the rear.

[derek]

i ran an e-z locker up front for years.
it broke finally and now i run an arb.
i will never again put anything but a selectable locker in the front of one of my rigs.

given money wasnt an issue i would do the elocker in both ends or arbs,  but i like the elocker.  i hope to get a ez or soft locker for the rear, on the cheap soon,  or i'll weld it up
