  1. Also double check your cam timing and distributor timing, if that's off it'll run like absolute crap Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

  2. I'll run back up there after dinner and snap some pics of everything for you. I still have EGR hooked up so you can see how it should be in there. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

  3. Can you post a pic of what's left on yours? I have an 87 so I can snap some pics for you Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

  4. I can't say I've tried per se, but I've probably done more research about it than most. My stance is that it won't work simply because the carrier it's supposed to use (a 2-piece/4-pinion open diff) never appears to have existed in 33-spline applications. Every 33-spline open diff I've cross-ref'd is a 1-piece/2-pinion carrier, with identical internals. But for other reasons, every set of side gears I've seen for 31-spline and 33-spline applications (and seem to hoard them), the teeth are cut differently: 31 gears have sharp teeth matching the LR-3220 cut, while 33 gears have rounded teeth. (This topic is also why I did a write-up about converting a 33-spline truck to use 31-spline shafts, to use lockers like these.) Precise1 put some pics of the LR-3220 here: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/40280-was-the-factory-lsds-breakaway-torque-any-good/?do=findComment&comment=756688 and I posted pics of the 2-pinion 33-spline side gears two posts down. Weighing in on the LSD blocks in the original post...it would surely function like a LSD, but I'd expect low breakaway torque. I'd be curious to try, but not at a $350 price point. I'd be more curious to know how well the blocks or side gears resist chewing into each other over time.

  5. The locker will only lock while under load. If you maintain or let off the throttle, or push in the clutch, it unloads and allows the wheels to have different speeds. It basically acts like a ratchet and will let the outside wheel speed up in turns so you are not fighting the turn. Hit the throttle in the turn, and it loads up and locks the axle so the inner tire is forced to try and turn faster than it normally would. One of w things will happen, either the grip will be high enough that the truck will plow straight in a turn, or the inside tire will break traction and either make a lot of chirping/squalling, and or snap the back end out when the outside tire breaks free as well. One reason I disliked daily driving my truck on snowy city roads. Other reason was I just knew some idiot without insurance would hit me. With a manual transmission, you will find the LockRight pretty easy to live with in all reality. Just a bit of a learning process, then you won't really think of it, but will love the extra traction until you find that a locker like 4wd is great at getting stuck deeper. But then again, getting stuck is part of the fun. At least for me it is, it adds interest and knowledge. We tend to learn more from our mistakes than when coasting after all.
