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...

Yukon Gear & Axle is the first-and-only re-gear solution for 2012-and-up Ram 1500s. Until this kit was developed owners who were considering or had already pulled the trigger on a big-tire upgrade, had no re-gear options. These Yukon Gear & Axle re-gear kits are the first to address the OEM C215 front differential which features a problematic one-piece carrier/ring gear assembly. The...

A carrier break is the point where the numeric increase in gear ratio necessitates a new/different carrier be used. The act of increasing the numerical ratio of a gear set results in the diameter of the pinion gear becoming smaller. To maintain proper contact, the thickness of the ring gear must be increased. The point at which thickening is no longer viable is known as the Carrier Break,...

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...

There’s a lot riding on your axles… literally. There are all kinds of variables at work here… one of the more misunderstood is axle type. There are two styles of axles used in the rear of light-duty, four-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs; semi-float and full-float. Understanding Semi-Float Axles A semi-float axle features splines on its inner end to connect with the...
