After initially installing the e locker it was hard to turn the truck pulling out on the track with 1000k of weight on the front which is understandable... Last year with the e locker on I could still turn it fairly easy at the drag strip pulling on and off the track and in the pits.. Well now when it's locked in I can't even budge the wheel at the strip and its a pain in ass making sure its locked pulling up in staging.. Anybody else having this problem.. Is my steering box or whatever going bad..

I messed up my steering box a long time ago and I could turn the wheel 180 deg. without moving the wheels, but I also had bent upper and lower steering shafts.

Flush your power steering fluid out. Run it till it's nice and clean, it will make a big difference in turning power.
I would wait till your on the track and strait until you lock it in though, much easier on front end parts.

When I used to pull, I didnt lock it up till I had the truck lined up and in reverse to the sled...mine turned super hard too. Atleast I knew it was working I figured :thumb:

My front diff is welded and I can't turn at all when the 4wd is engaged. I can't put it in 4wd until I'm out on the track and I have to take it out of 4wd before I'm off the track
