Post subject:  Need help. Powertrax locker.
Ive got it in no problem. The spacer I have that came with the spring kit does not fit the gap that its supposed to. I bought the locker off a Lost member and he lost some of the springs so we ordered new springs from randys ring and pinion. The spacer is supposed to be the same that came with the locker. Its says if the spacer does not fit then my axle is messed up or something.

Another thing, in the end it says the wheels should be able to be spun by hand but not in the same Direction, mine do not do that. With the tranny in park I cannot spin anything, I thought that was how a locker was supposed to work? If I drive it Im afriad something is wronh and ill break an axle.

Also, there seems to be alot of play in the locker. When I try to turn one wheel, one side of the locker moves alot and those springs in the pics move side to side. Is that normal?

She works! i figured thats what it was with the spacer tool. I got on the fact section and saw his spacer tool and it looked alot smaller than mine.

Thanks for calling clint! Sorry I couldnt make it to the phone, we just bought some new lights for the garage and I ran in to see who it was and didnt make it.

Gap Tool
The correct gap is greater than .135 thousands and less than .170 , just measured the one that came with mine. Did he give you the booklet that came with the no slip?

He's shipping it today. Hes looked everywhere for that little tool but cant find it, yes he did just send a pm saying he found the orignal instructions and owners manual so thats good. He said he's going to call and try to get one, he's taking good care of me!

I was just wondering what its used for, thanks guys!

Finally got all the right parts :wink:

Put my old locker to good use, it LOVES being abused. All it asks of you is to change the oil.

Haha, I probably will not change the oil again until 30k, I changed it at 12k not knowing I was getting a locker and when I drained it this time(18k) it looked as good as it did when i put it in. I use syn so I see no use in doing it again until 30k when I do the tranny and tcase. I dont see much water either.
