Northwest differential is the BEST place to have the gears setup.

They are located in Kirkland, WA

they want about 4oo bucks to reset my gears... thats a little out of my unemployment budget right now...

heres the problem... my buddy set the gears up for me and installed a "lunchbox" detroit ez locker. the gears and locker maybe have 200 miles on them...(street miles). what happens is i drive my truck and about every 10 seconds the rearend will pop and the truck will shift a tad bit to the left... its weird. the locker has to be messed up somehow... how hard would it be to just take the locker out and put the welded carrier in? would my gears have to be reset at all?

Nothing is wrong with the locker. Thats what happens with those cheap lockers, they pop. Its the reason I ditched my Lock-Rite in favor of a spool.
