Re-gearing with a powertrax no slip locker?

[Morris Capers]

Sorry, this may be a dumb question but if I buy a powertrax no slip locker for my limited slip rear end and want to re gear at a later time to 4.56 can I still keep the locker?

Yes, you can keep the same carrier with all 8.8 gearsets

Yes

But you will have to go through the gear set up of the rear end twice...

Why not do it all at one time and be finished?

He is right and it is very time consuming to set it up right, it is not a rush job at all.

Also the special tooling and knowledge to go with it.

It's such a PIMA (Pain In My A$$) to do it in place. I refuse to do it.

That means you have to drop the rear end twice.

Wrong, he asked about a powertrax, which is a lunchbox locker. This is a easy installation once the gears are done.

I installed one after having someone set up 5:13's in mine. I have also broken mine after 10 years of use and put another one in it's place without touching the gear set.

I will do the same up front soon.

Thanks for the answers!

I just regeared to 4.56 after having a spartan lb locker. It takes a bit of time to remove the locker (Think springs and pins) but yeah, works with all 8.8 gearsets.

How noisy are those lockers ?

You don't hear it, unless you're chirping the tires by giving gas going around a corner.
