Sadly nope. Pump issues won't effect anything but steering effort.

Much better. Still a little wiggle every now and then. Still need more driving but seem more stable. DW didn't show up in the short test drive. Will take it out tonight and see if it is gone.

Have a whole spare TJ Dana 35 with 4.10 R&P. Blown 4.88's in there now. Have a bunch of extra parts/seals too.

$100 for everything.

Starting to think about a locker for the front. I like the idea of selectable (run open until open won't cut it). The Auburn ECTED series seems to make sense to me but I'm not seeing any reviews. Anyone know anything about them?

Personally, I would (and have) run an Aussie in the front. The cost differential is too large for the benefit, IMHO.

But, if I was going to run an selectable, it would be an OX or ARB. The ECTD is a limited slip that gets "more limited" when its on. Its never a spool. I had a Eaton ELocker in my front D60 and didnt like it. It was unreliable and I worried about breaking it after reading review and feedback online. I replaced it with a welded carrier.

The ARB is top-of-the-line for pneumatic lockers and have been for years...

Rears covered (thanks to matt). Fronts will be obtained by spring trip to rausch. Not waiting for lockers to cover my arse... I have to drive MLC home at the end of the trip.

And it won't matter what locker you put in the front, a set of shafts is a high priority!

My $0.02 = put an Aussie in and run it.  Don't waste too much $$ on the D30.

If you'll hold on to those for a "bit" I'll take them with the new joints. Need to pay Matt for the 35 and then shake the money tree (aka wife) for more funds. If someone comes along and takes them feel free to sell them though.

I'll also throw my $.02 in for running an Aussie in the front. Going gentle on 35s I was fine, though alloy shafts are still in the future for me.

BAH!


Need a windshield. Insurance is covering it. Any thing I need to watch out for with local installers? Recommendations?
