I found why the locker was clicking last weekend driving on the street, I think it's toast... I'll pull the diff cover again today hopefully and see for sure... I think I've put 30-40k miles on the thing and a fair amount of wheeling miles in that
Anywho, for the money I'm not upset, that locker was barely noticeable on the street, ratcheted here and there but not bad, I'd still recommend one and am still thinking of getting another...
So, while out wheeling after it broke talking to friends several were saying to look into a Yukon Grizzly locker, I haven't seen much on here about them but I haven't dug in too far, being full carrier instead of lunchbox it should be better... Amazon has them for $550ish which beats Jegs or Summit by $200. I am pondering getting another Aussie though...
My ABS hasn't worked in 10 years so it probably doesn't matter if the tone ring isn't there but I'm curious anyway about it.
The Ranger is most likely just going to get tweaked here and there but stay similar, I like it how it is and anything more extreme the Explorer will get built for... so I'll be staying D35/8.8, it just works...
Anyone with other thoughts on lockers? How would you spend my money? I don't want selectable and no spools, I'm going to skip the thought of welding it solid for right now...
