Locker for a 2wd 1997 E350 Ambulance

[motoboy125]

What lockers are available for my van? Im tired of getting stuck in sand and i can't afford a 4x4 and I dont want to sell my van to get a truck haha. I have buddy with a 2wd F350 7.3 he got a locker and said it was a huge difference and helped a ton!

First thing to do is I.D. your axle. Get the Dana BOM # off the silver tag or off of the RH axle tube. It will be 6#'s followed by a dash and 1 more #. You either have a Dana 60 or 70-2U. Is yours semi or full float? The least expensive way is to find one with factory limited slip. A-lot of guys go with an ARB air locker (full locker) because there's one for factory 32 spline axle shafts. I'm going with a Tru-Trac limited slip 70 with 35 spline shafts from Yukon or similar. I like how the TT performs better in sand/snow/ice. Personal preference.

After you get the axel number go to the Dana Expert and enter your axel number. It will give you information about your axel. Be sure to ask more questions so you understand exactly what you have. I did not and bought the wrong locker for my semi float axel so am selling it.

My 97 with dually wheels has a Dana 70 with LSD...

But as others have said, we need to know which axle you're running.

Pics of rig also keep us amused

Lower all your air pressure to 15lbs and if needed go as low as 10lbs....you will walk right over the sand
