Reattempting Aussie 8.25 install with new cross pin and thicker thrust washers. That better do it!

That's OK. You can go up to .180 in a gray area... but with her tire size I wouldn't be worried at .173.

Was popping on road before and took it out. So got new crosspin and an assortment of thrust washers of various thicknesses to try to tighten it up a little. Previous owner experienced popping and would unlock sometimes on the trail. Dan and I inspected and teeth are a little worn on one side but doesn't look like it should be enough to cause an issue.

Cross pin is a very good place to start. Slipping can sometimes be caused by a bent axle shaft or tube. Take a look when you have some time. You can send me pics of the teeth and I will let you know what I think. If you are still having issues, I have a C8.25 scratch and dent she can have. Some of our older 8.25 Australian units had a bad couple batches that were replaced under a warranty recall. Do you know if her locker says 'made in USA?'

This locker is at least a couple years old so I'm guessing it is an Australian unit. I will get some pictures.

I would demand stickers for all this hassle from Customer Service.
What a pain!

Got front and rear Aussies installed today, both seem to be working. Thanks Cora for hooking a girl up! Also got a new Solid cover on in the front, thanks to Harry :) Got my rocker panels and stiffeners painted too. All that's left is to put the t-case skid back on tomorrow, needs to be straightened out a bit first.  Almost ready for Womens's Wheeling at Rausch next weekend!!

How sweet is your rear window?
