Crown TCL-1

Ok, I will see if I can cross reference that somehow. Thanks.

2 tubes of Slip Lock Differential Addative - ADATB-EA
3 QT of SAE 10W30 Synthetic - ATMQT-EA

This works too.

Cool, thanks. The best I could find is this...

It crosses to Chrysler 4874465, which is supposed to cover 4549614 also.

So instead of buying a new top, I decided I am finally buying a locker for the D44 I am yet to install. (I have almost owned it for a year too).

I plan on buying an OX unless someone can give me a reason not to, besides their personal preference to ARBs.

ox has problems with getting out of adjustment and not operating properly. if you want a selectable go with the ARB

Even for someone that has a strong hatred towards electric/wiring?

both can have there problems. the ox's are listed above, the arb can have solinoid/switch failures, pump failures, line failures, and bulkhead/o-ring failures just to list the parts that supply air. (I have had every problem listed above at one time or another with mine) However, when they do work right they are great. Also all my parts are at least a decade old. So I would expect new arb parts to operate just fine, at least for a while.

so is this front or rear, front arb, rear detroit

it is still his dd, so i would think he still wants a selectable locker in the rear

I drove for a number of years with a locker in the rear and would not hesitate to do it again. It's really not that bad.

Depends on the rig though. A fullsize with an automatic may not notice. A light jeep with a standard and the detroit likes to jerk you around on curves.

on a jeep I'd think about 2 ez lockers before a rear detroit.

its a 4 banger w/ an auto. go detroit, let off on turns, spend money on gears.

I had both kind of transmission because I'm special.

I do remember hensel driving out of our driveway after welding the rear diff.
