    wheels chirping in 4x4

    Check the raitos yourself. Jack up both tires (either fronts or rears on at a time) mark the driveshaft with a line or something. Make the tire and than turn the wheel one complete turn. And count how many times the driveshaft goes around. 4 and a little would be close to 4.10's, 3 and...

    Front Locker Performance in a 2nd Generation Explorer

    I had a little help from a guy who as the lock-rite. He said the no-slip looked the same but the 2 couplers that in the no-slip that weren't in the lock-rite. I assume that is what makes the no-slip smoother and quieter.

    Front Locker Performance in a 2nd Generation Explorer

    Is there any chance of putting this locker on without taking the axle off? The same way you would do the rear, take the diff. cover off, take the cross pin off, remove spier gears, install locker, done. Or is it just to tight of a space?? And the only way to get the pass. cv axle out is to...
