Brake Bleeding, Rear Locker Demo & Heater Running on Diesel

Brake Bleeding, Rear Locker Demo & Heater Running on Diesel. This install was more difficult because it was a Suzuki. The locker will totally lock both wheels in low traction situations only. A regular vehicle could not drive away with one tire off the ground. The tire off the ground would just spin and the vehicle would not move. With the locker, as soon a traction is lost, the internal racket locks and both rear tires have traction.

Installing PowerTrax LockRight, Suzuki Samurai, Part 4. The Jeep locker is now installed and I checked it by raising one wheel with a jack and driving it right off the jack, with either tire. Some people said they were noisy going around corners, but I remembered an old trick. The trick is to use ultra-high performance fluid (like Royal Purple) and that is what greatly cuts down the clicking noise. It uses a racket mechanism for complete lock up of both tires in low traction situations. It is much better than posi-traction.
