2004 Explorer 4x4 off road

Testing out my newly installed PowerTrax no-slip traction system rear locker. Three wheel motion with rear locker pushing the explorer through the rut.

Hey, love your Ford Explorer and thanks for posting so many vids on it! How do you like this locker? I have had auto lockers in the past and just wondering how much better is the 'no-slip'? Is it silent? Does it ratchet/click/bang like a typical auto locker from any of the brands? Thanks

TenaciousD I love the PowerTrax noslip locker! It’s very quiet and no ratcheting or clicking. Only a subtle thud but rarely happens and you really have to be in the throttle when coming out of a turn. But so far it has locked up when I needed it to and would highly recommend this over the other lunchbox lockers! It’ll transform you explorer into a beast for sure!

@@rome0175 Awesome, thanks for the info!! Also, how does your Explorer drive with the 33" tyres? Is it sluggish? Does it need to be regeared? Did it kill your fuel economy? Thanks

TenaciousD It drove fine and I have the 4.0 V6. There’s enough power but optimally I would’ve regeared to 4.10 to get my mpg back and for proper gearing on fwy speeds. With all my gear and 33s i was avging around 11-13mpg
