All new parts, no used housings or internal parts. Ready to drop into axle. Third members feature top quality ring and pinion gears and lockers. V6 units feature larger OEM style V6 gear sets with longer pinion gear. Each unit is setup with solid pinion spacers for long gear life. Triple drilled flanges included covers common driveshaft patterns.
Free ground shipping on orders over $500.00
Application Notes:
High pinion units should only be used in front axle applications. Use in the rear axle will lead to ring and pinion failure.
Spool lockers should only be used in rear applications. Spools will be harder on axles than a selectable or automatic locker.
Ring & Pinion Break-In Procedure:
All new 3rd members require a break-in period to prevent damage from overheating. Any overloading or overheating during this period can cause the gear oil to break down resulting in ring & pinion failure.
After installation, drive lightly for 20-30 minutes and then allow the differential to cool for at least two hours.
Avoid heavy throttle use during the first 500 miles.
Do not tow a trailer during the first 500 miles.
Change oil after 500 miles to remove any particles suspended in the oil.
This may seem unnecessary.... but it is very easy to damage the differential by loading it before the gear set, is completely run in. New ring & pinion gears create excess heat when they are new. This excess heat can damage the heat treatment of the gears.
