Default Need Urgent Help!!!!!!

I've got a 9" with 35 spline axles and a detroit locker. I was swapping out the slicks just now and noticed the left axle is not locking in fwd (counter clockwise) rotation, only reverse (clockwise). The right side is good and locked up.WTF???? Before I tear it all apart I was wondering if anyone had any quick ideas. TIA


edit*** When I rotate the pass. wheel the drivers side follows in the same direction like the locker is working. I don't know what the hell is going on.


Jeremy

Hey Jeremy,

I too have a 35 spline locker and had something like this happen recently. Kind of freeked me out when one wheel didn't spin. I don't know much about the locker but I thought that maybe it was "ulocked" sitting there on the stands. So... I put the wheels on, took it out, and dumped the clutch at 5K. Two, yes two, very, very long black marks. All seems well now...

Good Luck and I'll be watching this thread
