Frack me..
Why am I NOT having the same probs..? Yeah, I blew up my first diff... but it could have just been my Balls out attitude.

Mauzer's BL makes his taller, but that doesn't affect the Driveline angle?? I think we are using the same coils in the back.. aren't we?
Oh yeah, I was pretty sure y'all had the same lift. Just knew his was taller

I dunno..One thing though, I used to go from Drive to Reverse every morning backing out of the driveway without coming to a complete stop.. and it would "pop" into gear. I think that continually did not help much. I now reverse and go to Nuetral letting it roll to a stop and then throwing it into forward. Does it make a difference? who knows.. but I don't want to buy another diff just yet.

So, you didn't reinstall it?

I do this all the time without even thinking about it. I know it can't be good for it but at least if it breaks I have more motivation to regear. I try not to do it though if I can make myself remember not to.

I just saw one on Yotatech.. check their Classifieds, you can find a good deal on one there. The only negative is shipping.

^ the second negative is between buying a house and my wedding I'm strapped for $$. I bought the lunchbox locker cause I knew I would be broke for a while and now that plan has backfired on me
Edit: just checked it out, he's asking $750 but I know I can get them for $550 from the "yota yard"

I don't get it, it has worked great for me!? Well... except for blowing up one ring gear.
Did it totally destroy your Ring gear too?

No the ring gear seems fine, the locker just won't stay locked. I can be driving completely straight, keeping my RPM's constant and it will lock/unlock over and over...It's gotta be the driveline but I just don't have the time/money to figure it out. I'll just pull it and sell it if its still in good condition and try to pick up an elocker soon

is it the LR1620?
Has any of the TOR folk spoke with lockright on the phone regarding the problems? Seems like it would be easy to fix with a shim or whatever... did yours have shims?
