Oizarod115 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 check out richmond gear they sell limited slip and lock-rights that replace the spider gears and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 a spider gear replacement is your best bet. pop out carrier, replace spider gears with locker, put carrier back in. no gear setup involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I will say IMO from experience Go with an aussie luchbox locker. I have a lockrite if you really want one in my D-35. PM me and let me know. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project88mj Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 no i want a new axle it will be cheaper and easer than a locker i heard something about a dana44 from a grand wagoneer being able to swap right in no mods to mounting plates or any thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpm4x4 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 no i want a new axle it will be cheaper and easer than a locker i heard something about a dana44 from a grand wagoneer being able to swap right in no mods to mounting plates or any thing A waggy dana 44 has 6 lug hubs, so you would have to have different wheels front to back. waggy axles are geared higher than Comanche axles (something like 2.73 gears :nuts: ) and waggys are soa in the rear. If it was my truck, I would get a lock rite or another lunchbox locker, and I think that they are easier to put in than an axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I don't think it would be easier unless you found a manche with a LSD or something of that sort cause your going to have to fab up mounts and such.Just my .02 worth. PS...I am saying this so you buy the locker just what I think. It took me 45min to put mine in so not really hard just a few bolts and yank the shafts out part ways and walla your halfway there. Check out powertrax website and look at the instructions and you will see how easy it5 is. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole it really is THAT easy... took my brother and i about hr and a half with plenty of breaks and at night. be wary though if its a manual ive heard they lock up quick when you let the clutch out... which can take some driving style adjustment.

JOMJ87 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I concur you have to start clutching threw sharp turns and taking off alot diff. but it is amazing what they do for traction. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Maybe I need to start buying up all the 8.8's at the UWI and seting them up for sale :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole haha, try adjusting your driving style with a manual and a full detroit. Sometimes it shakes the drivetrain so hard it feels like the truck is coming apart. Either drive with enough gas around a corner to totally lock it, or push the clutch in. DO not try and pedal your way around a corner with light throttle to maintain speed. When the locker ratchetts it will give some slack, then your RPM's jump and it's a very unpleasant shock load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project88mj Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 well it is an auto trans so ... how will it drive then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 better than a manual due to it haveing some pressure on the gears and drivetrain at all times IMO. but I don't know for sure maybe someone does. But really I can deal with it after the first time I wenyt off-road it was crazy the diff it made but I think just my front will still give me a good amount of traction. But yeah it does take some getting use to. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 with an auto it will be much less noticeable. The occasional pop or ratchet noise and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettM Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have an auto with a lockright (toyota 8") in the rear. It has never locked when I didn't want it too or expect it, and it has always locked when I want it locked. I've been very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
