MWinland Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I did the one piece axle coversion on my dana 30 yesterday. Prior to that, I had an Aussie and a Posi-lok. After the conversion, I'm having bad issues with the aussie. I can barely turn, and I know it should be "nearly invisible". What's the deal?!
MWinland Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 The truck is in 2wd. I'm going to pop the diff cover Friday, pull the carrier, and check to make sure everything's reassembled correctly. I may have incorrectly installed the Aussie and not realized it due to the Posi-Lok.
reson46 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I'd suggest making sure the front driveline is disengaged in 2WD while you are doing that. Just to make sure the problem isn't in the transfer case. Willy
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Its been some time since I installed one... But I seem to remember a important measurement. One that Aussie would need to know if you had problems like the one your having. Double check your paperwork and I'll bet that that measurement is not with in spec. Good luck, CW
MWinland Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 The locker was put together incorrectly; the pins and springs were flip-flopped. It's still apart because I ran out of daylight, but I'm hoping it works after correcting said problem.
MWinland Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Well, I still don't have my axle together yet. The springs in the Aussie were toast so I had to order new ones. Overnighted, the pins and springs ran me $54. I'm not very happy with the shop that did the initial install. I should have just done it myself in the first place.

They should at the very least, pay for those parts!!! CW
james750 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I thought that you shouldn't put lockers the front of vehicles without manual hubs? The driveline will always be moving even if not given power w/o the hubs and no CAD.
MWinland Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Well, bolted up and tested the locker. Works exactly as it should. All is well once again.
