I always thought that adding a front locker to a newer Dak was a
no-no, due to the fact that our front axle doesn't disengage from the
wheels when the transfer case is switched to 2wd. (Yeah, I know they
used a vacuum disconnect system for a while, that's why I said
newer.)
What's making me wonder is something I just noticed on Powertrax's
web site (http://www.powertrax.com). They finally got around to
putting some real info on their site. I was looking at the
application info for their No-slip locker with part numbers, it lists
all of the standard rear axles I would expect, and they split it into
"truck & SUV" or "performance vehicle."
Then I notice that they have "to be available" under the truck
application for the Chrysler 7.25" Nothing mentioned for
"performance" vehicles, by which I assume they mean muscle cars
(someone should tell them that trucks *are* performance vehicles, but
I digress...)
Now, the only truck I know of which uses a Chrysler 7.25" axle is the
front axle in genII 4x4 Daks. If they're going to all the trouble of
developing a locker for this axle in truck applications, surely they
must bother to test it, right? Which means surely they've discovered
that this axle is a front axle for a genII Dak, right? Which means
they've put a locker in the front of a Dak, doesn't it?
Or is this just wishful thinking?
