The deuce is not the end all be all truck. Its average off road. Cool it carries weight. The 419 issues was all the aftermarket crap added on by freightliner. I highly doubt you replaced a bunch of 419 axles, cinsidering they are rated at 4 tons.

Yep I'm sure you have

Wow this has nothing to do with lockers in a truck. If every truck had lockers then logistics wouldn't be an issue. With all due respect, you are ignorant and you have zero experience with trucks such as a Unimog. They are very reliable and simple to work on. They have had lockers in them...

That doesn't change the fact they have 18 year old privates that beat the crap out of the trucks. And as far as simple technology, the idea has been around for over 60 years so I think it's a little proven idea.

But it sure seems to work for the Germans, Aussies, Swiss, Belgians, and new Zealand army's.

Was this a knock on me? No one ever said the 2.5 ton would ever be equal to a Unimog. But lockers would improve the off road prowess of the truck and move it a notch above average.

They are selectable, but when they are turned on it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I had a ramcharger that I installed lock rites in. With the hubs locked it wasn't that bad cruising around on the street in the winter.

I thought Marine trucks had lockers in them. They seem to operate fine. Lockers do not make it hard to turn a truck. My Unimog turns fine with them. All the issues people claim ie: bad on ice, plow straight and so on is either from going to fast or just someone talking out of there rear end...
