I'm putting an Aussie together now, everything checks out so far. clearance is tight. .145. spec's are .145 t0 .174. guess the install grease might might be taking up .002 or so. any thoughts on this?

My thoughts are: I never checked this on the front or rear locker and both are still performing flawlessly.

Just don't dump the clutch while turning a tight corner at a high rate of speed --BigMike

I dont have a manual, i have an auto am guessing not to go as fast around a corner right lol.

I'm thinking about one up front now. How much did this reduce your steering or did you not really notice?

Thanks.

that's probably one realistic thing I can get done before the roundup. Besides the engine ofcourse.

Well I just In stalled my aussie on the front...just tested it out in the dirt field across the street...Can someone just tell me its ok and it normal....It sure clicks alot when the wheels are turned its kinda scary, and im running swamp lake this weekend little nervous

-Matt- · « **Reply #219 on:** Aug 19, 2008, 09:09:16 PM »

ya its fully fine the clicks are normal thats how its designed. i remember when i first installed mine i thought the same thing but i seem to find that once it breaks in it quiets down.

thats what i thought too.

yeah, you should hear em in a rear on pavement.

RN37DD · « **Reply #222 on:** Aug 20, 2008, 03:40:08 PM »

mine makes a toc.. toc.. toc noise when i back up and turn. or round a corner with the throttle off on pavement. i guess that's normal. sure launches the truck up hills though. i can see why once you put one in the rear diff, you want another one up front. i had a lot of fun trying to get stuck in 2wd.

I dont think i will ever put one in the rear!...it would drive me crazy...maybe i would if it wasnt a DD

RN37DD · « **Reply #226 on:** Aug 21, 2008, 09:11:27 AM »

I've got 500 miles on mine and it's getting quieter all the time. mines a DD and it doesn't bug me at all. but i drive on dirt back roads almost every day and it's nice not to have to shift to 4wd when i go in the rough. now if someone was to give me an e-locker or air locker for only $250 I'd dig that too!

i have a detroit in the rear and its quiet, except when it pops! sounds like an axel braking.

like holding the clutch in, while its in gear..... then just letting off the clutch while your still taking the corner.... you can break

.

GA Runner · « **Reply #231 on:** Aug 22, 2008, 10:29:03 AM »

what about like holdin the clutch in to down shift in a corner then just lettin off. will that break somethin?

RN37DD · « **Reply #232 on:** Aug 22, 2008, 12:06:38 PM »

no. i think you'd really have to try to break an Aussie. by dumping the clutch, i think he's talking 4000rpm plus on dry pavement, while your doing a hard turn.

so........

someone tell me the easiest way to take the ring gear off the cage with out any power tools.

and i dont have a bench vise or c-clamps.

this is what is keeping my Aussie install at a hold.

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #235 on:** Aug 25, 2008, 05:41:25 PM »

iv done this many times and never used power tools or anything special just use this cinder block...http://www.demxx.com/images/standardblockB2_th.jpg throw a towel on it if your worried about the bearing staying clean and drop the spider gear/carrier end into one of the holes, then all u need to do it brace the block with your other foot and then you can just use a cheater bar on a ratchet and your good to go.
