Difflock & Driving style

Post by CptnBarney »

Guys,
Just a query. Just bought a LWB Zook, but this one is tricked out with a LockRight in the back. Never driven a vehicle with auto-locker, so was wondering what to do or not to do whilst driving corners/roundabouts/highways etc... Main issue is will it be driveable/predictable enough for the missus to drive as well? Sort of a dumb question, but would rather be prepared then caught off-guard.
Cheers...

shouldnt give you too much grief, just go easy on the accelarator in wet weather around roundabouts etc. my mavs got a detroit in the rear, and my mrs drives it around without any problems

yeah, i've found in my swb 40 (with detroit), don't use the accellerator as a light switch, the locker shows up mostly when you go nothing - full noise, or full noise to nothing straight away, i.e. cornering keep the throttle input smooth, don't lift off through a corner, or plant it through round abouts, i was told to imagine i'm keeping some torque or tension on the crownwheel and pinion...

everyone told me to watch it in the wet, but i've found it very predictable on loose surfaces and wet roads. the people who don't like em are i think those that are unable or unwilling to drive smoothly, or alter their driving style

:roll: Just drive steadily,however if you wnt a squeelie just punch the go pedal in a DRY roundabout. :D Not too hard just enter real slow and open it up a little it'll squeal without much pace.
Yeah I was a hoon in my younger days. :cool:

Excellent, sounds easy to adjust driving style to suit the locker.
Thanks...
