Enjoytheride ? who are you talking to Steve ? lol

 

ya i better look into getting some stronger stuff before i start doing much which the wife tells me i cant do anything till the baby is born

 

I seen him viewing the page. I went to his profile and he is from Utah...

 

If you look at it he welded the spider gears (side gears) together making a full time locker like a spool.

 

I see that but It is the first time I see that S shaped thingy.

 

i dont think mine has one in it last time i opened it it didnt

 

I think that is part of his limited slip that he already had...

 

oh ok that would make sence to me now

 

my old 44 with the factory LS didnt have that.... must be a ford thing lol. wait Shawn you work for ford you should know this stuff , but i talked to the other Sean and you can do a 8.8 swap for under 150 which is a big improvement for a 35

 

its the rear, I hated the locking and unlocking of the locker I had in my blazer, it was kinda scary driving in ogden canyon, so Im not going that route again, and your right free is awesome!! not worried about tire wear, I put on like 10,000 or less a year

the S shaped thing is the spring that pushes out on the side spiders to hold them against the friction plates

it doesnt unless you have limited slip, yours is open diff

 

ya i do work for ford im going to check iff we have any laying around

 

i belive its out of the explorer right

 

yup, also see if you have a 9" 3rd member laying around i can have

 

Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to the ones that have served our country.

 

And happy armistice day (11/11/1918)
