I have three Eaton drop out third members. I am considering swapping the detroit locker in the 4.11 diff into the 4.57 diff or maybe even into a 5.14 diff. Do I need special tools or shims or whatever to do this? Do each of the R&P's need to be set up again? Or is this just a matter of putting stuff back the way I found it?

Usually when you change the carrier (which is what the detroit locker replaces) you have to set up the whole thing again.

This is not so in these rear ends. I believe the Detroit locker parts will fit into the carrier you have. Please check with a reputable rear end parts supplier to be absolutely positive.


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
