I was thinking about my powertrax today and I got to thinking, since the locker obviously makes more drivetrain slack, does that mean if you put it into 4part time or 4low the front diff will be stopping the drivetrain slack? Since when your in 4part time it does not let the front and rear turn independently, the front would be taking the blow, would it not? Wouldnt that put more stress on the front diff which already sucks at doing its job? Or am I thinking alittle to much about this? :?

Even though the drive shafts will spin at the same rate in 4wd, there is still some slop between the two. I wouldn't worry about it.

IMO if you are that worried about it then just pull out the power trax and put in a detroit
no slack and no "1 wheel peel" best of both worlds
or realy spend some dough and buy an ARB thats what i got and they rule
