Lunchbox lockers provide reliable 100% lock-up traction at a low cost. The simplicity and ingenuity living within the Spartan Locker makes it better than conventional lunchbox lockers. The Spartan Locker’s patent-pending design replaces the spider gears in a standard carrier case without using the thrust washers, but the unit’s most revolutionary attribute is its spring-and-pin design. This...

Gear break-in is a crucial process that involves controlled heat cycling of the gear set to properly season and harden the contact surfaces as well as to polish and establish the final contact pattern on the gear face. It is essentially a series of test drives that play a vital role in ensuring the long-term durability and optimal performance of the gears. Neglecting or improperly conducting...

This edition of Tales From The Tech Line illustrates what happens when someone sets their grinder to overkill. The fiasco starts with a Toyota Land Cruiser moving up to a 4.56:1 gear that requires a little extra installation effort. That’s right your TLC will need some TLC if you plan to run a 4.56 or deeper gear set. The catch? The Land Cruiser diff sports semi float axles that use C-clips...

Pinion bearing preload is a critical step in the differential overhaul process because if you get too heavy handed you have to backtrack and start over. Further, getting this procedure right sets the stage for each following step of reassembly. It should be noted from the get-go that there is a difference between the minimum torque value for the pinion nut and the pinion bearing preload. The...
