From what I've read, you want to engage manual diff locks only when you need them. A detroit on one rear axle would be fine on one of the driving axles with the other ussing a selectable air locker. A selectable air locker on the front would allow you to get the different tire speeds you need...
M1075. Yes. It would lock up one side as the other was slipping and you'd have 3 wheels driving.
Non-Selectable locking diffs are a bad idea up front, although I guess with the air-shift it might not be an issue, I'm not sure what a detroit locker would do if the hubs are engaged but the input...
Ok, who's talking about what kind of locker?
Air Locker = Air powered Diff Lock
Locker/Detroit Locker = Automatic Differential Lock
Locking Hub = selectable lock at the Hub for egaging/disengaging that axle
Air shift = Front axle arrangement lever (as opposed to a sprag)
Wouldn't the ideal...
