He definitely has some made. If you go onto his site you'll see them & you'll see he has them in his own M37. He initially had them vacuum operated but told me he had decided air was better so he was converting the system from vacuum.
Air or vacuum lockers are a way better choice because you only engage them when you need them. Lockers or Posi-trac is very dangerous on the road & insane in the front unless your truck won't ever leave the farm.
I intended to install a Loc-Rite in the rear & air locker in the front. For me, it wasn't so much a cost issue but more I didn't really like the idea of drilling holes in both my original carriers. It's only a 1/4"NPT hole that can easily be plugged or welded should a guy ever want them removed, but I think the Loc-Rite is a good product as well, it just has limitations & those limitations are that it has to go in the back. If you're only going to install one locker, I'd install it in the front where the weight is.
See the problem?
Have you actually talked to Daniel & heard this from him because the last I talked to him I told him I was crating my front & rear end & sending them to him, so I'd love to know for sure if anyone has actually spoken to him.
