Lockright locker!!!
 

Put a ford 9" in my daughter's 95 YJ , 4.88 gears and a lockright locker,
I know, not the strongest, but most she could afford, anyway it lasted for
1/2 a mile, warped the one side gear, so she sent it back, after a couple
weeks they sent it back, one new side gear, she put it in last Sat. it
lasted till this Sat. sheared the pins off. Now I know they aren't known to
be the best lockers, but this is in a YJ with 4cyl engine, first one had no
testing off road, I just took it over to get the brakes hooked up after 9"
swap, second one she took it up a little 10' bank once and other then that
she drove it to school 5 days, it went going around a corner on her way home
on Saturday.
As for installs, first one was put in when new gears were done by
brother-in-law, ford master machanic and severe 4 wheeler, second time it
was put in by my neighbour, 55 year old retired machanic/trucker, I have
know doubt about either install.
So what is going on here, any ideas? They may not replace this one, may
say she is using it with too big of tires or to high a horse power, well as
I say, it's an 18 year old girl with 31" ATs and a 2.5L.

Re: Lockright locker!!!
 

I have a LockRite with 33's and more engine to boot. Heck, I had no
choice but to "eyeball" mine after the shop let me open up the diff and
never thought to tell me they didn't have any of the tools:(
Either way, I think the problem's painfully obvious. 18 is just
Waaaayyyyy too much for that setup. Haha!
Jim
On a serious note: I can't imagine what the problem could be but it sounds
like it's not disengaging (?!?!). Can you hear the "clack, clack, clack" in
a sharp turn?
