So i've been watching videos and doing research on how to install my no-slip in my dana 30. I've seen and read about removing the carrier and actually removing the ring gear from the carrier, putting the locker in, and just throw everything back in. With the line of work i'm in (cnc machining), i just can't see doing this without things not going back EXACTLY where they were. I'm not too experienced in the differential field so help would be appreciated.

 

Yes everything goes back together just like when you took it apart make sure you use the shims behind the spider gears

 

?? Spider gears will be gone when locker is put in?

 

Yes the locker replaces the spiders

 

Oh. I read your post wrong. You mean the thrust washers? I know that. I'm actually in the middle of installing an aussie in the rear right now. Waiting for some thrust washers to come in because mine were cracked. Stupid chrysler. Have to order a kit of washers instead of just the two i need.

 

Yes chryslers are very common with those washers cracking see it all the time other than that the install on the locker is very simple..

 

Ya i've seen it online a couple times.

 

Are u sure u have to remove ur carrier?? My spartan was able to just slip in.

 

I've heard you can do it without it's just easier when you pull it out. Mainly for the roll pin i think.

 

It wasnt hard at all to install it inside the carrier. The pin was easy once I found a perfect long rod to tap it put. The the shaft pin came out along with spiders then input locker in and new shaft and pin. Done in about 2 hours.

 

Sounds good. Nice to know someone has done it. I had heard of it being done but couldnt find any good info on it.

 

So 3.55s you dont have to remove the carrier to put a lunch box locker in

 

Do you have to replace the shaft and pin? Only have 86k one them.

 

Mine came with it. But no u will be fine with urs

 

Sweet. Don't really feel like waiting on more parts. Glad i got a heated barn to work in though! I'm slow and i hate working in The cold.
