I think you'd be surprised how that feature comes into play. Drive a locked rig and a rig with selectable lockers. You'll see.
Two 1/1 crawlers FTR. My all purpose truck that I used as a crawler was a Detroit locked 14 bolt rear and full spooled Dana 44HD front. Almost every single time I went off-road I locked the front hubs for a completely locked front end. And every time I crawled I locked the diffs. Bar none. I went places I could never go with an open front diff and I never had to unlock my front to get somewhere. I crawled with people who had open diffs and had to winch them out half the time. If you are making a U-turn on asphault then sure, unlock a diff. Otherwise its a feature that will never be used on a true comp crawler.


The answer is no. And yes, mine is faster.
