did a lil muddin'
#11
only thing I'm disappointed about with blazers is the 4 wheel drive is poop... if all 4 of my tires would have power I wouldn't have gotten stuck near as many times as I do. I bet if all your wheels had power you would have made it through. oh well hopefully I'm fixing that problem soon

The limited slip in the rear of mine does ok, if one tires spins too much it engages the other so both get power. My friend didn't think I could get up a grass/weed hill in 2wd while we were out fishing. I left it in 2wd & started up, PS tire spun a bit, I stopped & gave it gas again, both locked & up the hill I went. But I agree with the front end, it needs help, more in the form of like TJ said, a selectable locker like an ARB Air Locker. That way you keep the road friendlyness of the open front but have the security & off road manners of a lockable front diff.
<edit> oh yeah, with the rear limited slip - in order for it to power both back wheels you have to be going straight I believe. Thats the only drawback I can see.

Read this now, remember this later... save a little more cash up for the PowerTrax... you will regret getting the LockRite. They are both made by the same company, but they have design differences. The Powertrax is gonna by waaay better than a LockRite, especially if you rarely take it off-roading. The LockRite tends to break easily, is noisy in operation, and has poor on-road manners. The PowerTrax is quiet, and has excellent on-road manners. Go check out some other truck forums that are mainly off-road, you will find the same information I am giving you. I use a PowerTrax myself, and I wheel my junk like it was meant to when I off-road. I know my personal equipment since I built it, and I push it to the edge. So aside from a selectable locker, it is the one of the best ways to go. If you have really deep pockets, go with a selectable locker.

I'm considering the lsd i think that would work good for me. and leave just the one front wheel spinning. then it will be better in the mud but not effect how it drives on the road and snow
