M915A1 Detroit Lockers?

[Autocar]

I was looking at the door panel tags on my 1984 M915A1 and found two warning tags about use of Detroit Lockers. Does this mean that my truck has lockers in it? If so, was this standard or did I just get lucky?

Lucky. Is yours a USMC? Mine is/ was not.

I pulled up the manual and it doesn't say anything about lockers, but when you pull up the parts breakdown, it shows a "no-spin" differential that looks like a locker. I guess this means that all M915A1s had lockers in both axles.

My M915A1 has no locker whatsoever. The duals on one side will spin like crazy.

They are supposed to have a locker in the forward rear. The 916's-920's had lockers in both axles. NDT...you could hve a broken axle shaft in the forward rear.

Both rear axles will spin one side (on grass). I can't get mine to do any smoky burnouts on pavement. It's all go when 400 horses gets unleashed.

I think you have a defective truck. You need to take those axles out imediately and I will replace them with the correct ones.

Sorry not all have them. My 920 does not have them eather.

Any easy way to tell if I have lockers?

 

[Floridianson]

Jack up rear spin tires. Same direction lockers different direction open diff. Find mud on a slant hill lockers both will spin open diff the upper side kick out down hill side will do nothing. Your stuck.

you need to get the truck on a wet or slipery surface

Lockers are great and the USMC trucks are known to have them

Well they should by the TM. Sure you don't have a broken axle?

Is there anyway to blow that up? I cant see it ??

 

[TacticalTruck]

Lemme try.

 

[TacticalTruck]

Dang, keeps shrinking it. Anyway, the TM says the front rear is a locker.

 

[Castle Bravo]

I'm not sure if this is the same picture you're trying to show or not, but this says that the M915 has 1 locker and that the others 916-920 have 2 lockers.

I have yet to determine what my M916 has yet.

 

[TacticalTruck]

That's it Matt. I'm not sure how you did that. It also shows the no-spin in the -20 and says the M915 and M916
use the same unit.

So this means I can say my truck has "3 wheel drive"!
