2low and manual lockup
I was just wondering how many out there use 2 low or a manual TC lockup. Thanks

Possible to do this on my '01 Suburban?
Yup...disconnect the control wire to the front diff. Break that control
wire with a dash mounted switch
Compound low is really cool for maneuvering...but...note that the
rear drive train is at risk if you get on it...and that the automatic
will NOT like it much with little to no air flow over the external
ATF cooler. Why some will cook their ATF backing up a trailer on a
steep driveway, or some such
Not enough time for me to do it on mine...yet
My K5 Blazer had put in a Dana 60 with manual hubs. Loved that setup
for low speed maneuvering towing a trailer on pavement. Never had to
give it much throttle and most times just idle was enough
Would love to have manual hubs on my Sub, but not with the OEM front
axle setup.
Manual hubs do need yearly maintenance and part of why the OEMs have
dumbed down by increasing the complexity of today's systems
