 Detroit Locker Experts?Fun weekend wheeling but my Detroit in the front of my HP Dana44 called it quits. I heard a mild pop and the long side stopped spinning. Figured I broke (another) chrome moly shaft but the ears were still together. Took axle out at camp and axle looks like new. Figure it must be my locker since every once in awhile it locks in but not very often and the lockout look fine as well.
I haven’t taken it apart yet but can you get parts for a Detroit, or get them rebuilt or is a new one in my future $$$$$ Thanks, Chaser |

Re: Detroit Locker Experts? Maybe it needs a rebuild...

Re: Detroit Locker Experts? There are springs in there that are likely worn out. Not to mention some teeth on some of the gears. Cleaning it won't help that. I am pretty sure there is a rebuild kit out there for them. Let us know what the shop says.

Re: Detroit Locker Experts? Johns 4x4 looked at the locker and tested it. Said everything is within spec and tested fine. Put everything back together tonight and... nope no worky. Not sure whats up, this weekend it was the long side that gave up, now that its back together its the short side that wont spin. You can hear the locker clickin but won't lock up. 17" Beadlocks are in the garage, 42" pitbull rockers arrive early next week, i knew i was in line for a axle upgrade but wanted to to wait till winter...

Re: Detroit Locker Experts? Unless your driving it you can't test it. Just spinning tires in the air will cause it to lock one side and the other just "click" when turning the tire.
