Is this normal? I know they make a ratcheting sound, but this sounds a lot louder than I would have expected it to.


This is not mine, but I'm trying to decide on which locker to put in the D30 of my DD. Thanks.

 

lunchbox lockers are loud .. They work, but that's what you get for spending less.

 

That's normal. It could even be worse.

For lunchbox type the No-Slip is more advanced and almost silent, but then it costs 2-3 times more. I run a No-Slip in the front and rear of mine now just because I couldn't stand the noise of the Aussie.

 

I run one in the front of mine, its pretty much silent in 2wd which it should be.

 

Another vote for the No-Slip. Have run mine roughly 50k miles now and its still strong

 

Mine used to sound like a damn roller coaster. But now it's quieted down. I also used 90-140w synth

 

mine sounded a little like that, not quite as bad tho..
check your axle joints, they could be under a little more stress now...i replaced mine and now it's quiet as can be

 

Are you talking about the Powertrax?

 

Hi folks, Aussie Locker here.

Just wanted to let you know that this video above does not show a properly functioning Aussie Locker. While it would take some diagnosing, I can say that the locker is not installed correctly or that the stock cross pin is soft.

A properly functioning Aussie Locker is barely audible, and even less so with aggressive tires and other road noises.

Feel free to shoot me an email or PM with any other questions.

Thanks!
AL

 

i love mine, and like you said between my tires and exhaust i literaly can not hear it but i know for sure is is working

 

Anyone know if one in vid is in 2wd or 4wd?

 

Ya im running the powertrax. But i cant knock Aussie either, my buddy ran his for 40k before selling his jeep. Truth is any good lunchbox that isnt ragged an frequent fluid changes will last pretty well

 

I run lokkas front and rear and rarely hear them at all en less it's a really sharp turn.but even then there pretty quiet

 

Thanks for taking the time to answer this. Great info.

Also, you guys wouldn't want to use my XJ as a test subject would you? Install the locker and video it so you can show how quiet it's supposed to be when installed correctly? haha.
