Hi all! I just registered; it's great to find a forum dedicated to the Cherokee! I have a 2000 with the factory limited-slip rear axle. So far, the vehicle is not modified in any way. I've read that installing a Detroit Locker in the front axle results in a good combination with the rear limited-slip for occasional off-roading, and which doesn't affect highway driveability in 2WD. What I'm curious about is whether this combination works safely for winter driving in 4WD, particularly on sharp curves when the road surface may be snowy or icey. When cornering under power (so that the front autolocker is locked), is this likely to cause one or both of the front tires of the vehicle to lose steering traction and therefore allow the front end to slide to the outside of the curve? Would a limited-slip, like the Detroit Tru-Trac, be a better choice? Thanks in advance!
