Getting the Wheeling Fever
I do not know how the actuator looks from close till I see it but I REALLY hope it is that guy, I could live without it for a while till I can get another diff carrier.

Body Damage is Cool
I have a full air locker carrier sitting on my garage floor, if you need parts, I'd certainly "part it out".

Had to pry one mine last night, I am sure I will have to replace the actuator at some point. Will you be willing to part with the actuator? thanks for the offer.

Good on ye...


Put her back together last night, had to push back the actuator. If things are good I am planing on replacing the diff carrier sometime next year.

Thank you for your support <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

On an interestng note, the 96 SR I rode in with wildblue took a long, long time to release the rear locker. We were back into 2Hi and I'll bet it took over a minute. It was getting to the point that I was thinking of this thread and getting scared! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Never been insde the carrier myself, so no clue how it could get jammed up like that. It engaged very quickly though...

I didnt see any signs of tear or damage, it was getting late and wanted to put everything back together to have the car ready for the next day (it is my daily driver). It took a bit of an effort to push it back in place, my best guess is lack of good lubrication and/or grime on the shaft where the locker gear slides. As I am sure that locker has never been used before. gear teeth were good.
again that is my best guess <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Maybe it'll work now? Did you push it back and forth?
