Bump!
How's it going Dino? Gunna' make the Brindies on the long weekend?
The locker should be going in tomorrow.... Transmission guys are taking their time but I've been able to get the compressor in and wiring up done.
Lockers in.... Everything is working as it should.... Should be hot to trot(with my new BAS remap as well)Quote:

So here's a funny thing.
Dino's failure made me a bit paranoid so I decided to install my Ashcroft ATB today.
Pulled the front centre out and discovered that my carrier centre pin had sheared and was sitting there ready to lunch the entire diff.
Few bits of broken chunks in the bottom of the diff (centre pin, not teeth) and some metallic filings in the oil.
Reckon I better do a bit of cleaning/flushing to do - anyone got any tips?
Lucky you found that when you did. :oQuote:

What, you mean just before my Simpson crossing? And no, I'm not joking.Quote:

New Ashcroft ATB centre fitted this afternoon. Just need to put some oil in, do a few laps of the block and then dump it for some more fresh stuff.
Gunna' dump the rear oil tomorrow - I'm getting kinda paranoid!
How did the locker go Dino?
Excellent. Found some steep greasy slopes in the Brindabellas and the lockers did their job without any fuss.Quote:
