Do I need to run a thicker oil with my lockers? The install write up I found for the aussies says to use 2qts of 85w-140 but everything for the stock dana 30 says 80w-90. I found both on the same site and am nervous about using the wrong stuff.
I’ve been running 80w/90 with my aussie, and havn’t had anything go wrong with it for the 1.5 years its been installed. I know of a few other poeple that have been running the same gear oil in thier 30’s as well.
Awesome thank you. I was kind of thrown off when I read the install thread that I found and it said 85 140. Im hoping the brown truck will be here soon so i can get this thing locked.
no worrie, let me know when you get it in and if you want some help installing it.
Awesome man thanks. I am hoping they get here soon and as soon as they do I plan on getting started. My only worry is I dont have a vice or impact gun for the ring gear bolts.
Ring gear bolts?
Its not possible to install these things without removing the ring gear? Wow.
I personally don’t see why I would need to but I don’t have it apart yet so I don’t know. I was just going by the install sheet I found.
Yea I know that the vice did come in handy when I installed mine.
I think the reasion they have you remove it is just a safty factor so it doesn’t get banged up and to give you more room to install the locker.
I am having a hell of a time trying to get the carrier out.
Need to remove the ring gear to get the pinion shaft out apparently.
You need to spend more time working on the install and less time posting to the Internet.
Lol I was at a stand still for a while with no vice or impact gun. I definitely did spend more time online than outside haha.
did u get it done?
Yea man as soon as Liz got home I went and got the impact gun and it was pretty easy from there.
Are you going on the ride tomorrow?
Yea I’ll be there
