When do you guys engage the e locker during a truck pull? When backing in to sled or tightening up the chain or sometime else?
E Locker first timer
- Thread starter ikeG
- Start date
when my elocker worked i would always lock right before i pulled out onto the track that way i could feel that it was locked when i was turning the wheel
i noticed how much it makes a strain on the power steering-def can tell when its locked in! Thanks
This is how I always did mine. If its not locked and you take off it will DESTROY your front diff. I have seen the whole case crack in half because of this
Do most of you guys go onto the track in 4wd? Ive seen a few guys go out in 2wd then switch in 4wd on the track.
I always hit the locker well before pulling onto the track, as I got close and it was a fairly straight shot I would then engage 4wd.
I heard stories of e-lockers giving fits, so I figured engaging it first would:
1. give it time to engage.
2. allow it to engage prior to driveline bind (easier for it to engage).
Never had any issues this way
i put it in 4wd before getting on the track. It is sometimes very hard to get into low lock with 1,000lbs on the front
I always put mine in 4lo when getting staged to pull. Elocker gets locked in right before i back up to the sled and unlocked before i drive off the track after unhooking from sled
I always lock into 4 lo and flip locker and set up my log before backing to sled. I jusy got in a habbit of doing this all at once.
