Model 20 and Dana 30

[Germy]

How much extra you guys think ill be paying if I go the locker route. I know he said he would not have to replace model 20 carrier. Would this make him do so?

 

[mtnwhlr]

Probley just the cost of the locker you choose. He will be in there already so I don't think he will charge any more to put it in there but I don't know you would have to ask him if he would charge you more labor to install the locker.

 

[Germy]

I'm going to search around tonight for prices. Any suggestions?

Best of both worlds!!!!?

Edit...saw price..... I'll be waiting for a locking diff......for a while...

 

[mtnwhlr]

If you are going with a selectable locker I'd say either ARB air locker or the OX locker or with a manual I would go with a Detroit Locker.But you will pay a lot more for being able to have only when you want it.

 

[Germy]

Yeah, that's what it seems like. I think I'm going to wait, I want locking but not on roads, manual would be perfect

 

[Germy]

How do I know what I have now? Trac loc, QuadraTrac ?

 

[Incommando]

QuadraTrac is a Transfer Case . The factory options are open or a track- lok Limited slip (so-called "posi-trac") for the rear and open for the front.

How would I know if I had track lock

How would I know if I had track lock

Jack up the jeep so both rear tires are off the ground, turn one by hand,
if the other tire spins the same way it's a track lock (and needs an additive), if it spins the opposite way it's open. (just needs the gear oil)

The model 20 cover is shot. Would love to find one with drain plug. Should I just go ole cast iron?

Dog, I'm jacking it up now, results to follow.

 

[Germy]

They rotate opposite another. Another question. While looking into the Transmission and transfer, I noticed a ton of seepage goo on the skid plate. I have the motor out, what steps do I need to take to drop the skid plate safely?

 

[Old Dog]

I've got one of these covers I'm not using anymore if your interested, it doesn't have a drain though. BTF Model 20 Kryptonite Differential Cover for Truss :: Blue Torch Fab

I have no good idea on how to drop the skid without the motor in to hold the Transmission . up.

 

[Germy]

Yeah dog, How much? What are the line of extra holes for?

 

[Old Dog]

PMed ya.

 

[Germy]

What the heck drive is the fill plug on the model 20? I have no Allen's that big. Any ideas?
