So I was looking on craigslist and there is an Aussie locker for a Dana 35. the guy said he bought it for a 95 wrangler. will this locker work on my 2001 Cherokee? I know that my Cherokee has a Dana 35 i just don't know if the gears are right. Thanks.

I think that as long as both are D35s and have the same carrier (I think 3.73:1 is the ratio cut off but not sure) then yes it will work

but the real question is why lock a turdy five

Are you 100% sure your 2001 has a D35? Unless someone switched it, I bet you have the 8.25.

I just read that it had a D35 i don't know for sure how can i tell?

Match the diff cover up to one of these. Yours should have a flat bottom and not a round one.

cyclonis11

Yep your right, i have the 8.25

5-Speed

Not a problem. Now go get yourself a locker!

cyclonis11

hahaha i probly will

Check out the spartan lockers, myself and a handful of others have them. I feel they have little design elements that make them better than the aussie. Pretty darn easy to install and perform well.

cyclonis11

i'll check them out 😉

And what would those be? I have been looking at them and had settled on the aussie but im not dead set. What makes the spartan better?

LACK

Just ease of install and it comes with a hardened cross pin.

Spartan uses small "pins" to keep the locking lugs in place while you install it, then you remove them and the lugs snap into place. They are very similar designs and im sure perform very similarly. Just small attention to detail is what sold me on the spartan.


Heres some comparisons
