When did they go to the vacume lock front diff?



If it's vac lock are'nt all you comparing apples to orange's?


Vac lock's are just spline lock disc's and not, NOT even lock in, lock out, or auto hub's?


And facktory hubs are a direct bolt on and way better alternitive.

Their isnt a vacuum operated diff lock- it is the ADD system and it utilizes a collar (not a "spline lock disc") to sleeve the axle shaft (driverside) coming out of and OPEN diff to the axle shaft going to the drivers side wheel, making it connect the axle shafts together (1 side has 2 axle shafts)

the auto hubs really arent, they are drive flanges (for ADD systems) they spin all the time (axle shafts) thats where the collar that sleeves the 2 axle shafts comes into play allowing the front to spin freely (with the minumal drag that a cv joint will make) until you lock (slide the sleeve over the 2 driverside axles locking them)

Sorry I did not specify "Vac lock" I ment "A Vac Lock's hub assembly"


And did not know what a "drive flange" is.


The actuator NONE the less IS vacume operated, sorry.

Warn hubs are the fuse, I don't think they make one that's weak on purpose..... Yes, that saves the birf/CV's/axles.....

I seem to recall but think they did away with it.


It was a ring inside the hub desighned to fail (fuse)

and I don't think off-roader's warmed up to it.


Weird, functional, if you arent a rock crawler, but weired.


no body buy'e they no sell'y

tntoy, beat me to it- but at one time they did make these(anymore?)

Good to know... I guess a hub weaker than their normal (weak) hub would be a pain in the arse.... If it was adjustable..... that might be cool. If you could set it to break at a certain torque.....

Here's a "drive flange" (bottom) next to a locking hub.....

A regular locking hub....

And a "auto locking hub"

And a good site explaining them all.

Yeah just what I thought three different thing's


Uhhh...........wouldent drive flanges be cheaper, stronger and your "friend's" couldent put it in Un-lock while you wernt looking for the full floating rear?
