Message: [QUOTE="powerlifter405, post: 857436, member: 2044"] If it was a TT it wouldn't have done any tire eating. The old school Detroit Lockers were extremely aggressive. There have been design changes which resulted in the most recent version of the NoSpin as I have been told. Other companies make locking differentials so there is no way to be sure you had an Eaton product as well. Given their applications to include construction equipment and OTR trucks, I would be very interested in the situation that your cousin snapped that axle. Flukes do happen but any axle breakage in off-roading I've seen is by repeated HARD throttle application where slippage is occuring, followed up by a sudden change in grip. From what I've read if someone is having popping noise, it tends to either be set up inproperly or too much throttle input around corners. I don't know his situation but I've run two seperate vehicles w/ the NS and NO popping and no breakage. I've heard about leaning on the brakes but If I'm in a situation where i'm about to be stuck, leaning on the brakes is the last thing I wanna do. To each his own.

Both rear axles for maximum mobility if used 75% offroad. • 4x4 Off-Road Vehicles Farm tractors (articulated & rigid) front axle. Also rear axle for maximum traction. (Consult Tractech Engineering.) • Farm Tractors (straight frame with front-wheel-drive) -front axle only (cannot be used in rear axle with individual wheel brakes). • Loader - One axle only, either front or rear [/QUOTE]
