Hey all I have a lock rite in the front of my sierra! The last few times out it has been wet and the locker will be working great then gets to a slippery bit and starts ratcheting... And looses drive to one wheel!

I thought I may of cracked a chromo but it does it in both sides and only does it every now and then but its when ya need it it throws the towel in!

What is causing this? Broken pins? When its under load it stays in....

Cheers

Mine needed re shimming when it was doing the same.

[suzukikid]

And that made it all good again? Can't wait to rip it out...... Haha

Is this the lockright you made your own pins for?

My guess is the springs have lost their tension...... not enough force pushing the lockright apart.

You can buy a spring and pin reco kit for them.
I got my spare set from lowrange.

[suzukikid]

Nah jase not that one! Haha that was daves....

And Christopher what was that worth? Ill have to pull it apart and sus it out!

This was how mine was. Re shimming fixed the front and its still going strong, it tightened up the rear locker making it less likely to slip on flat ground but it would still give out when trying to climb. I have since replaced the rear with a spool.

[suzukikid]

Yeah looks like what mines doing! I have a spool in the rear of mine.... Yesterday when it disengaged nearly caused to me to roll end for end.... Going up a bill fine then single spinned it and flicked me around side ways half ways up a rock ledge wasn't good! Ill rip it out and sus it out

It's strange because I don't remember yours ratcheting so pronounced like Reds. She might be loose as all hell haha!

[suzukikid]

Yeah I hear it in the car... It ratchets loud as all fuck! Haha
