Subject:Locking rear differential
From:Steve Smith

Hello,
I'm new to the list and appreciate all the great words I read.

Does anyone have experience with a locking rear differential? I'm considering having this done when I rebuild the tranny on my 89westy. I'm curious if you have found it worthwhile, worth the expense and if you have had any unanticpated issues since installing it. Here are a few other questions:

- I live in Seattle and would like to know who did your work  (there's tranny work and maybe alittle electrical work -- switch/wiring, yes?)
- Where did you get the parts?
-Does your engine (now) have enough power to 'drive' two wheels simultaneously?
- Did you (or now would you) change any tranny gearing?  (a lower 1st gear maybe?)

Thanks to all who respond

Steve
