What would be the price for one?
Just to release the tension in the rear would be a good thing.

So in your opinion there is no sensible way to have custom hubs to disengage my front axle for highway use on a M52A2?

Not in a sprag truck. Unless you're up for removing the front driveshaft each time.
I went back and re-read the posts and want to clarify my information. I know the transfer case has a neutral position but in my post I was referring to the Spragg clutch having 2 positions and not a neutral. In the case of a wrecker using the output to power the hydraulic pump, the Spragg and all of the drive line are not moving, it's not that they are in neutral. The transfer case gearbox is in neutral...which is different than the Spragg section that is only on the front drive-line. If the Spragg had a neutral, where a large speed differential would not wear it out prematurely, then lockouts would work, but it doesn't.
My earlier point was correct, that a non rotating front drive line (using unlocked "lockouts") will result in one side of the clutch turning at highway speed (the part coming from the gearbox) and one side not turning at all (driveshaft). I think that is 12x the wear on the Spragg clutch inner cams part vs not having lockouts.

I'm going to be "one of those guys" that revives a 6 year old thread. Looks like three different individuals were working on these. Any still in production or capable of being produced? I seen a few balking at the high price tag but big and quality are seldom cheap. I would be interested in financially punishing myself for a pair. Just want to improve my 925a2 for myself and the 99% of road driving she sees. I have perfect CTIS and am not interested in the desplined cap concept at all. Anyone able to hook me up?
@profo should be able to help you

I had these made from a friend who doesn't have his machine shop any more, I did the drawings, 3d prints and springs needed , I have the 3d drawings in STL format and the unobtaineum springs that where specially made, If I can figure out how to load On files the page I will, this was done as a project for me and I gave all the stuff to my buddy for him to make if he wanted to.

They are STL files, you will have to have either solidworks or some other 3d drawing program to be able to open.

Just spoke with him. He said there is still may variables that need to be answered above and beyond what I sent him in order for him to set up the machines. He advised that I would be best to look for a source that has already gone through the set up, machining and build process.
