In Reply to: What about those Lock Rites? posted by Russ/Wyo on Monday, May 10, 2004 at 9:59AM :
I have run the loc-rites in the front and rear of my M-37 for a long time now. I bought two of the prototypes from John when he first offered these. I also broke the first loc-rite!! John had me send it to him so he could see what had happened. When my axle shaft broke I also broke/ bent the guide pins pressed into the drivers. He removed the damaged pins and pressed in new pins and it worked fine, and still does. A few years later I broke a front CV in the M-37 and again bent the pins over. When this happens it acts as a spool and can not release. Up untill this point I had no problems with the loc-rite in the front. It drove normally except when in heavy mud or such the traction of the front tires would pull the truckside to side, but not uncontrollably. I too have nothing but good to say about the lock-rites. Especally considering the price compared to the alternitives.
