What’s going on with my Detroit?

Luckily we still had the one we replaced it with last month and the guts were still good so we swapped the guts of the Detroit and will call ECGS on Tuesday and order something new.

Had a Detroit in a 8.8 under a 97zj limited. Axle shaft took it out and swapped in another. This exact scenario happened. It was a tiny pice of trash that got into the new Detroit and FUBAR’d it. Went ARB after that and never looked back.

Just keep a little extra air in the rears and they'll slide a little better. I a;ways had less chirping on the road with a spool than I did regular lockers.

I had a blast with the spool in the Bronco...except when I punched it turning in the rain. The guy who was behind me was suddenly un front of me, we both looked surprised.

I dont know man. American culture gets fast and loose with nomenclature. Only takes half a generation or so. Shit like "no cap" is flying all over by these young ones and Im losing my mind. lol

What does no cap mean? Like when your not wearing a hat?

Was there an unscheduled rapid disassembly of the bowels involved?

One would think, but I think a "clinchening" occured...

Not exactly a direct comparison, but prettttty close.

My CUCV has a Detroit and my old Silverado has a Yukon Grizzly. Both 5 speeds, both RCLB configuration, both have plenty of torque, and 37/40" tires (respectively).

The Yukon Grizzly was much more tame as far as locking and unlocking, popping, or making noise. The Detroit...sometimes I can hear it over a 12V Cummins and occasionally it feels like somebody t-boned the rear axle. All part of the vibe of the truck
