Symptoms
Brake-LSD traction control hesitates or runs out of grip on steep, cross-axled climbs. Unsealed found itself waiting for it to kick in, which cost momentum.
The fix, step by step
- Unsealed's view is that 'with a pair of lockers it'll go pretty much anywhere.' A selectable air locker behaves like an open diff until you switch it on.
- Setting up the diff, running air lines, fitting a compressor and wiring switches all need skill, so many owners leave it to a shop.
Tools & part numbers
- Diff setup tools (bearing puller, dial indicator)
- compressor and air lines
- or a 4x4 shop.
