I bought a Yukon Dura Grip for my 05' that has 3.55 gears in it. I have been seriously considering putting 4.56 gears in it along with the locker.
I've been waiting to install it until I had everything together as far as tools, and parts go. So I tore the rear apart to take a look, and start the install yesterday. But noticed my gear set is pretty wore out. They have 110k of pretty hard use on them.
I want to install my locker but don't want to ruin it if my gears come apart with the added stress of the locker. So I didn't install it.
I did take a BL measurement, and .017" was the largest. The BL should be between .005", and .008" according to the book. So I plan to go ahead, and adjust the BL back to what it should be over the weekend.
My questions for the brains here.
Should I be concerned that the ring may explode, and ruin the locker?
Should I just install, and ride? OR
Should I wait, get the 4.56 gears, and be done with it?
ETA: Surprisingly, there is no noise coming from the rear axle.
