Is there anyway to tell these apart from each other besides the springs they use. I bought a used EZ locker and now I think it is a lockright due to a problem I am having with springs. Help

I think :confused: the EZ-Locker has small metal caps on the ends of the springs, the Lockright does not use them.

That help:question:

Is that all, I was hoping for some thing that didnt have some thing to do with the springs

You probably wont' like this either......lockrights use dual springs, and I think the EZ locker only uses a single spring. Not positive. I bet if you call up each company they will send you pins and springs for free. Odd's are they will be exactly the same. What's the problem?

By the way, powertrax sucks and they don't stand behind their product! :flipoff:

I know that there was a difference between how the pins went in on my EZ locker versus how the pins went in on my Buddies Lockright.

If I remember correctly EZ locker pins must be put in the locker before putting the whole mess in the carrier, where as my friend Jakes (Dana 44 locker) you could put the pins afterwards (same was as putting in the springs)

:smokin:

Dude you post this shit everytime the word lockright is mentioned, its time to get over it, see a therapist or something.

hey, lock rites are bad ass for the money, they got me through college!! so quite bad mouthing them.

i'm not sure if i understand your question, but the lockrite is a better product i believe. you can get new little springs if you need them, just call up lockrite and request them for your app.

those things fly when your putting them in, i thought i lost one or two while i was installing them. did you actually install it, every time i was sure one of them broke, they always came out completely unscathed.

Yep, and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. They had the option to make things right, and they chose not too....so fuck em. If I can change one persons mind about purchasing one, then I win! The day a lockright shows up on my porch with a letter of apology for their shitty ass lieing customer service and managers, is the day I'll quit bad mouthing them.

EZ lockers are the exact same thing. If I ever purchase another lunch box locker, then that is what I'll choose.

Pull your head out off your ass

The pins on a D44 lockrite need to go in before it is placed in the carrier, the springs go in after the locker is in place. As far as I am concerned, they are the same thing.

I had to put the pins in before I put the locker into the carrier. Did eather company use the two springs and the little caps:confused:

having just put in an EZ locker in a d35 and a d44 this past weekend, they both used those little springs with the caps on the ends of them, as for the lockrite, I dont know. what is the problem you are having?

There dosent seem to be enough room to fit bolth springs and the cap into each hole. When I first got it it only had the large spring and the cap, I was told that it clunked pretty bad so I ordered a new spring kit for it from detroit. The kit showed up with two springs but no caps:confused: I would like to find some other way to identify this thing so I can be sure to put the proper set up in it.

one small detail I noticed on the EZ locker is that the little caps, actually sat in a small recessed spot down in those slots that the springs are in, I dont know if that will help, but that is something I noticed, maybe detroit assumed you had the caps, and just sent the springs only, I am not sure, hell worst case scenario, if you have the dowels in it, it would just act a little more grabby Id think as the springs wouldnt be as long as they would with the cap, which is a frog hairs diffrence! this is just my opinion though, hope you gather something helpful from it

the lockrite was kinda tricky but real simple. you put it the caps in the locker, put it all together in the carrier how you want it, THEN squeeze the springs into the holes in the locker. i believe the springs where a larger with a smaller inner as well.

PDADDY: I thought that they had maybe just left the caps out to but they sent me a sealed package with spring and pins, so it seems wierd that i would have to order the caps seperate.

AARONLOSELY: I will try to put the caps in first insted of springs and caps all at once.

Maybe it is time for a bigger hammer:D

EZ lockers SUCK for 12 bolts. Every ez I have ever seen has blown in a 12 bolt. EVERY ONE. Don't know what you have but if it has a 12 or a 10 go with the lockright.
Sad thing is for couple hundered more you can go a full blown Detroit that is as close to bulit proof as they come. If that EZ or Lock right blows they tend to dump the locator pins and if that gets caught between the R&P it's going to cost a whole lot more to fix than it would cost to just get a Detroit.

Grim Reaper: If I had my choice I wouldent run this thing in my D44. The problem is I cant afford any thing else and this is all ready sitting on my bench at home. So if ( when ) I blow this thing up hopefully I will have enough $$$$ to go OX

As far as i can tell is lockrights hold up better to larger tires than a ezlocker . i have a lock right in the front of my rig and it has been flawless . my buddy has a ez locker with 33's and he busted it on martinez trail in az and took out his r&p . i know plenty of guys running 38's and lockrights with no problems .they are kind of tempermental on wet corners but perdictable. i believe the pins on the lockright is alittle longer and have 2 sronger springs conpared to the one thin one from ez.my .02 cents.:usa:

Are you guys seeing EZ lockers break in the front axle, or rear axle?

Lock rights rule in my opinion. I've been thrashing mine for over two years in the rock crawling events. And if anyone knows my rig and driving style they know I'm harder on my parts than most. So if I can't break one then they should be considered bullet proof. The ones I have seen blown up was the instalation not the locker. Detroits are cool but I've seen a lot of guys blow axles and it takes the locker out w/ it.
