"Should be ok" is the spec I always go with.

[@USfoolsgold]

I thought the same

[@MrThewhip333]

The ox with cable locker would be the best I think, no airline or electric to foul and once it’s engaged no slop

[@corksauve4949]

That's what I'm thinking fewer moving parts. Nothing electrical or pneumatic.

[@jeeperzcreeperzz]

Except the air actuated version has no slop either

[@tacticalant3841]

I love the simplicity of the manual/cable locker. Seems bullet proof, and much easier on the pocket book as well.

[@Leon-lp9fl]

8 Years on and still good quality video!

[@willparfet8912]

Could you get by without the cable? Keeping it open on the road and use the bolt to lock it when you’re on the trail?

[@willian.direction6740]

thanks for the video helps one understand the workings and how they do the job.

[@juanelosanchez4578]

amazing video ox are the best for me

[@joegelencser2571]

Looks like that air feeding or the place to put the cable could get smashed off real easy in the woods or on a rock so I don't know

[@nono-mk7jg]

what protects those little plastic fittings?

Always make sure you are standing in-between the camera and the object. It keeps the viewer in the dark.

Very interesting,learned something today,thank you

[@yjdriver7432]

I really wish you guys had more lockers. I have a hard time understand why you guys carry lockers for the d30 and d35 but not a gm 14 bolt. Or the Dana 70. I dont understand the logic behind that. The gm 10 bolt is like the d35 garbage same with the d30 why spend close to 2g on a locker for a weak axle. Would love to see a gm14 or Dana 70 more one ton applications

[@OxOffRoad]

We are currently working on designs for more of the 1 ton axles. There is a substantial demand for the lockers that we currently make. I'm inclined to agree with your statement, however not everyone is looking for a locker for hardcore off-road use. It does seem like more and more people are understanding the need for the heavier duty axles, and the demand is becoming larger to be sure.

[@dufus2273]

dana 30 and dana 35 ARE trash. had one of each in a jeep grand cherokee. both went bad got noisey had pitted bearings. replaced, were still noisey. common problem

[@JoeWalker98]

I dont know if you'll reply to this, but worth a shot. Do you guys make one or be willing to modify one to fit in a suzuki samurai axle? Or are they just too small?

@@OxOffRoad hi, i have a hyundai galloper 2001 2.5 tci, diff ratio 4.88 and i would like to know if you make lockers for that car? Thank you

[@klauszungler4644]

Great video and info - why wouldn’t you use a gasket?? Thank you got you answer

[@OxOffRoad]

We do not recommend one because the clearance between the shift fork in the cover and the lock ring on the carrier is optimized without the gasket thickness.

[@corksauve4949]

@@OxOffRoad couldn't that have been taken into consideration during the design phase?

[@OxOffRoad]

@@corksauve4949 Yes it actually was, the closer the fork to the lock ring without touching the better. If we optimized with the gasket installed when someone installed without a gasket just using RTV the fork would bind with lock ring. The difference is pretty insignificant it really doesn't matter gasket or not.

[@bdwiatmadji]

Are they available for frong and rear diff for Ford Ranger Wildtrax ?

[@mattg8787]

Do you make them for the Toyota 3rd member

[@radcoolade1481]

OX LOCKERS for Dana 70?

[@johnwilliam3922]

Mate you can have the correct backlash but that does in anyway mean the gears are meshing correctly how many diffs have you destroyed with people not setting them correctly like you have ?

[@OxOffRoad]

Couldn't tell you for sure how many we have destroyed, we haven't heard of any yet, but by the current video views it could be as many as 198,512. This is not a ring and pinion setup instructional video it is a general information video to show the process of installing a locker which just switches out the carrier without messing with the pinion setup and assumes a proper gear setup prior to disassembly. There are many details not in the video in the interest of not making a 2 hour video. The locker comes with a complete set of instructions that covers everything. If you need any help with your setup let us know we would be glad to help.

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

Why must we not use a gasket to seal the cover of this diff?

[@OxOffRoad]

It will still work fine if you use a gasket, the reason we do not recommend one is the clearance between the shift fork in the cover and the lock ring on the carrier is optimized without the gasket thickness. Honestly it will work fine either way.

[@ds-zd9qz]

using a fine bead of right stuff gasket maker is better anyways.

[@RobbyDunlap]

awesome video

[@fatosmati533]

Hi! Is there an OX locker made to fit a Suzuki sj or samurai?

[@wvjeepguy8178]

How about that 14 bolt version that's been promised for over 10 years?

[@rs278]

There is no any wire or switch on the lock, how to ture it on or off?

[@OxOffRoad]

Yes assuming your speaking of the example in the video. A pneumatic switch is supplied to port the air to the cover for locking, and throwing the switch to unlock will release the pressure to allow the return springs in the locker to unlock it.

[@pitbull62]

have they improved where that elbow is attached? im thinking not the best location. maybe on top.

[@OxOffRoad]

It would be nice to have the fitting on top, however to maintain compatibility between the shifting systems the location remains in the same place. Some people fashion a guard over the port for added protection.

[@oscarmulleda4784]

It would be nice if you could show where to connect the air hose to the locker

You did a wonderful job NOT showing us what you're hammering at around 4:20 (the "non" 3/8th bolt bushings ... otherwise, mostly great video, thank you 😊👍👌

[@williamcobb6503]

Why do you recommend using silicone instead of a gasket when installing the diff cover?

[@OxOffRoad]

It doesn't really make much difference, a gasket can be used. The only reason we make the recommendation is the gasket moves the cover and fork assembly away from the lock ring that it engages in. With no gasket the distance is closer optimum. The closer the fork is to the lock ring without radial contact the better. Honestly the small distance is fairly insignificant. If I have a choice between a nice reusable gasket like a lube locker style or the silicone would run the gasket.

[@williamcobb6503]

@@OxOffRoad Makes sense, I'm not a fan of silicone when a gasket could be used. Thanks for the explanation!

Its hard to say We have seen some differences in the past. The main thing we would need to see is if the differential cover has the same bolt pattern. If that is the same it usually is no problem.
