I usually prefer a locker, but they are noisy on the street. My buddy had a lock-rite and had no problems with it.

The nice thing about a lock-rite is you don't have to set up your differential when you put one in since you're just replacing the spiders.

The lock rite is a lunchbox or drop in locker. The trutrac replaces the current carrier. I believe that the trutrac carrier is stronger than stock, that really should not matter unless you go with large tires low gears and high performance engine.

Your English is pretty good actually..... Try finding a factory Ford posi chunk if you'd like a more inexpensive way to do what you want. Rebuild it with new clutches and add a few extras for that "locker" feel......it'll still pull both tires.

Unless he can find the entire axle assembly for less than that he will probably spend more to set up the carrier than what the lunchbox lockers cost. Another lunchbox to look at are the aussie lockers.

I installed the Aussie locker in my 91'. It fits in the carrier like the lockrite. I've been running it for 4 or 5 years now. No problems and most of the time if the truck is on the road... She pulling. This would be my vote.
