As it says on the site, it keeps the locker engaged past 20 MPH.

For use on trucks with factory equipped E-lockers.

Advantages:
1. smoking off back tires equally throughout the power band of tuned trucks
2. Traction
3. Going straight quicker

Disadvantages:
1. Blowing a diff
2. Turning
3. paying for tires

Why

I can see it for the drag race but why. I don't think it would be safe over 20 MPH. What am I missing?

itd be just as save, its a posi rearend basically but you can still have the advantage of a open/limited slip diff, if your in water/ snow and NEED to go you go straight instead of to the side

Funny!

I wonder how much it would cost to replace the rear end.

I'm going to still try it. As long as you don't do anything stupid while fully loaded it shouldn't break any thing. Have yall seen the size of that axle?

If you don't have 2 tons in the bed, you wont hurt it locked. These truck's are so long and heavy, you will only notice it being locked in tight turns. I had an F150 super cab locked, and loved the way that truck handled. It was better in snow, mud, wet, and driving in general.
Someday I would like to lock my Super Duty, or atleast TruTrac it.

O I also ran a TruTrac in an EC F150, I really liked that too.

Will do guys...

I am interested to see what it is.
I bet its a piece of wire, 2 connectors and instructions on which 2 wires to jumer to bypass the safetys

They say it will be here in 5 days but I doubt it will make its way up here that quick.

Thanks
