While getting parts for my Creeper build, I have read many threads garding the weakness of the stock differentials and how they sometimes will not stay locked. Many have advised the use of FLM lockers for the creeper. Can these be locked/unlocked like the stock units or are they locked only. I would like to make my Creeper as"break resistant" as possible without losing functionality.

Thanks

the FLM lockers are non adjustable and will stay locked permanently....i have the FLM lockers and i dont miss my axles being unlocked at all. also consider getting some HR rear lockers and HR front knuckles and c-hubs, these will make your creeper a very solid rig.

How does the FLM locker compare to the Venom alloy differential case? How does the alloy compare to stock?

Thanks

i personally have not heard of anybody breaking the venom diff case but i can tell you the FLM lockers are a very solid pice and can take anything you throw at it...well worth the money in my oppinion.

the venom alloy case still lets you use the differental gears. i would only recomend it if someone still wants to use the locker funuction. due to the face that the plastic housing becomes egg shaped where the 3 pins stick through to lock the diff....

Has anybody had any problems with getting orders from FLM? I ordered my lockers and aluminum stock replacement shock bodies almost two weeks ago. Still haven't gotten anything.

im not relly sure where i read this but i think it was said that they are a family owned buisness and that they recently had a family member in the hospital and had to hold off on the orders...but i wouldn worry, ive never heard of them ever rippin' people off. ive ordered from them twice before and one order came in 4 days and another in 7 days, i know its hard but just be patient and hopefully your order will be there soon.
