Then onto Tibooburra, Cameron Cnr, Inaminka.
Not sure what day we will arrive as we just going to take it easy and enjoy the sights on the way.
Would be great to catch up somewhere if it works out.
Just thought I'd give this thread a bump to see what transpired with the Ashcroft HD P38 type replacement diff.
It would be good to hear any reports of how people are finding these as some must have clocked up a fair few km now. OK so the locker probably works and gives you heaps of traction (you'd be disappointed if it didn't) but what about the noise issues that were being reported. Do they 'bed in' and become quiet over time or has removal and machining been required? Also what is the source of the noise, is it the gear profile or something else?
Anyone got some experience to share?
Thanks,
Ian.
Recent inquiries with a (large) local dealer indicate that the issue remains unresolved...largely because the source of the issue is proving elusive.Quote:

I have a heap of km on mine (just over 10k I think), it has been re-lapped and the noise is still there.Quote:

Only issue I had was a leaking pinion seal which was replaced immediately upon noticing it under warranty.
I've got 7000k's on mine.
Still the same small whyne on de-celeration 60k's to 40k's, really not a big deal, not even sure I would pull it out once the cause has been identified.
Very smooth, engages/disengages with ease and provide confidence that ts not going to break !
No doubt Ashcroft's will sort it.
Ashcroft or LR diff???Quote:

yes its taking some time to make progress,
the gears I had left were sent back to the manufacturer for checking, they said they were fine and have sent me 3 sets back,
we built one of these 3 sets up and set it spot on as per manufacturer /lapping specs, quiet one way, growled the other way, no good,
we then dropped the pinion 0.1mm and both ways seemed quiet, on thursday we will be putting a 110 rear axle on our 90 so we can do a real road test, then we will know for sure if its quiet at this setting or not,
