Post subject:  I bought 2 Spartan Lockers
Im going to try and fit them myself.

I bought chromos for the front to.

Any hints or links that i could use which would be helpful?

I had a search but couldnt find much on the tech side of things. Any additional things i need or a guide would be great

Regards Shiv

Leave the shims out.
Take your foot off the accelerator when you want to turn.

The Spartan don't use shims, and instructions say remove original stock shims.
(Which can hide and appear to be not there)

Yes. I bought one for a mate. Looks simple. Nothing to fark up except backlash of the crownwheel/bearing preload again.

I'm surprised you didn't give Him the link to your write up christover, it's what I used to do my install, heaps more helpful than the instructions that came with the locker

I used two of them in my Sierra, I had 2 4pin (NT) carriers though.

what diff oil is good for spartan lockers to eliminate those nasty sounds?

Post subject:  Re: I bought 2 Spartan Lockers
I use nulon 80/90 in both my diffs (front Spartan, rear Lockrite)
No nasty noises from mine in road use.
Occassional clunk out of front end in off road 3 point turns
(Though selecting 2wd usually avoids that)

I am hard of hearing, so may be different to others.
But can't hear noises over engine and normal drive train sounds.
Except for that occassional front end clunk.

Helps a bit. But you really need to just drive it until it wears in. If its brand new, its gonna clunk like a bitch for a while yet.

Mine clunks more now than it did when it was new... Either that or it was that tight when I first put it in that it didn't unlock at all?!! Maybe time to change the diff oil. Anyone want to weld a nut on my diff filler plug for me, I rounded out the hole last time I went to change the oil :evil:

Nath if you can get it to Leichhardt (where I met you after Coffin) when I'm in town we could zap a nut on for you.

Timing will be the issue.

Cheers mate, but I've got a stick welder at home, I just can't weld for shit (and I've been too lazy :oops: )

Dan, I don't think it needs shimming, it's a bit noisy but its certainly not undriveable
