a small block chevy...

the engine doesnt really matter, i make over double the horsepower of the yotas i will with, nearly 4 times the power in some cases and they can still get around fine.

its all about gears, and if theyre available, lockers... and picking good lines

ive heard great things about aussie, theyre priced nicely if you cant afford a selectable

are you putting it in front or rear? ive heard bad things about autos in the rear if you dd your rig, lots of hop and such

i dont own a locker personally, im saving up for a diesel so thats where all the money goes.

i personally would recommend a detroit out of any so called "lunchbox locker" just because thats what we have had and theyre pretty bombproof.

if its for the front and you have manual hubs you can just weld up the spider gears too

it is for the rear in a 1993 automatic toyota 4runner. theyre on the lower end of the price spectrum which is why theyre appealing, and from what i have heard they are pretty easy to install. what do you mean they hop alot and what do you mean by dd? all i plan to do with my rig is mud once i put some more things on it

i was asking if your rig is a daily driver because installing an auto locker in the rear can make it for a very interesting daily commute..are you already locked up front?

dd= daily driver

when you go around corners and the differential doesnt work the tires go the same speed, since its not allowing the outer tire to speed up or the inner tire to slow down you end up skidding and "hopping" alot.

an example of this phenomenon is also driveshaft binding, the awd in a subie is smooth turning because it has a center differential, where as the 4x4 in a truck thats part time really doesnt like tight parking lot turning because the drive shafts go the same speed, this effect basically happens in your axles when the diffs are locked.
