just wrapping up a build-up and here's where i stand.
D30, 4.56s, EZ Locker (lockright copycat)
D44 4.56s, Spooled.
33x13.50 Interco LTBs (bias ply)
here's what is happening:
for the last 2 days first thing in the morning as i leave the driveway, as soon as i striaghten out the wheel and accelerate, the bias-ply flat-spotting starts bumping the rig around and next thing i know the front EZ Locker un-locks and ratches untill i slow to a near-stop.
i've had lock-rights before, and i know all about the tell-tale clicking and popping. but this sounds like a card stuck in the spokes of a bicycle!! in a parking lot thats not an issue, but at 25 mph it sounds like the end of the world!
both times it did it, it went away after a few stops and starts.
my theory:
bias-ply flat-spotting is acting almost like the tires have 2 different cirrcumferences thus un-loading the locker.
if i cant figure this out i'm gonna end up removing the locker. dropped the diff cover today and the locker install is good.
i've heard of this in rear applications of the EZ Locker. but never heard complaints about a front application.
