Ok, I bought an axle from a guy in Oregon with a locker in it. I'm putting it in my third and can't identify what brand of locker it is. I can see no stock center pin in it, which both the ez locker and lock right have. It seems to be in a stock carrier so not a detroit. What else is there?

got pics? describe it, if u see 4 small gears, spider gears then it's an open diff and u were ripped off...Doh! I'll put up some pics.

lockright

softlocker[ie: full detroit]

if it's wooden, it might just be a lincoln locker...


sorry, I know that was bad...........:D

*groan*

the more I look at it the more it lookes like a full carrier locker. There are no spider gears, and not center shaft. Actually there seems to be no way to take the carrier apart. I guess it is possibly a full detroit?? Can someone post a few pics of the detroit?

Installed (In a Dana, but it looks about like this in a Toy, too):

Hmm, it doesn't quite look like that.

It could be a limited slip, since some people still think that they are a locker of some sort. If there is nothing in there meaning no spider gears it has to be a spool. But you said that it looks like it is a carrier and looks like it can not be taken apart, so LS would be it, more likely a gear type. If that is so, You got RAPED!!!

Nope, not a limited slip- I had a true trac and this is not it. not an Auburn either.

On the lock rite and ez locker- is the cross shaft visible from the outside of the carrier??

email me a pic of the damn thing, if I don't know what it is, I'll post it. Then seabass or someone else will know for sure.

Hmm...could it be a spool? Here's what a spooled third looks like:

I borrowed this picture from RokToy, hope he doesn't mind ;)

Sounds like you need to get some pics of this thing online. I'm sure someone can figure it out if you get pictures. Cheers. :beer:

I fired a few pics over to wilson, he'll be able to post them.

looks like it might be one of the older, original detroits. If so hold on!!!!!!! They really pop and clang like a mutha!! The soft locker is, I beleive, a 2nd gen detroit. It was designed to dampen some of the operational sounds of the detroit locker. Anyone else have a guess???? Have any pics of the other side of it?

Do you know if it is a 4cyl or a V6 diff. The full detroits for these two look different. On the 4cly model, there are not those bolts that stick out like the one shown above. It just looks like one big hunk of metal.

the 4cyl detroit looks like this...

It's a 4 cyl. but it doesn't have all the exta holes on the ring gear mounting flange.

I have that exact same locker. The guy I bought it from (goes by brocbronc on the board) said it was a 4cyl full detroit.

That's it!!! Is it a detroit soft or full locker????

No need to post teh other pics tehn, I guess. That's a full deroit, which like I said beofre is the original detroit before the "soft locker" which is what you get now if you buy one. They are both full detroits in operation.

I guess I got a decent deal then: 1 complete '85 axle with warn hubs, all-pro hysteer, and detroit locker for $300!!!

Sounds like a screamer of a deal to me. USed Detroits go for that alone, front ends go for $200-$250. Hysteer??? Mine was $$$, not all pro though, mine's stronger

Damn! What a deal. I paid that much plus half again for this one with 5.29's installed.

Although I was scared to setup diffs back then.

Killer steal.

Yup, 1965, my next project once I get the truck out of the garage. My wife wants a faster commuter :D I've already built the motor and drive train- time to work on the body.
