hey i have a 92 pathy xe and a 94 xe as my parts truck that is in fab condition except the 94's frame lookes like swiss cheese lol. so i'm starting project samsquanch finder this january. I'm looking for a set of lockers for it unless there is a better way to go for drivetrain. The finished product i would like to have it be a good solid all round trail vehicle that works in the mud and technical stuff. any words of wisdom, prayers or advise more then welcome

Dont be afraid to use the search function! Lockers have been covered many times. Even a product review if I remember. Air and mechanical are your choices!

Yeah, not trying to mean, just help you out. Lockers have been covered a lot and there is a lot of good info from guys (myself included) that have used the lockers and how well they worked. Its hard to explain that all over again!! :beer:

Well, it depends on the locker. The mechincal ones you are just replacing the spider gears. Air lockers you remove the gears only and swap in the locker, drill holes, run air lines and reassemble. Always do a good inspection after you have it out. Make all the necessary checks before disassembly to help reasssembly. New synthetic fluid is always a good idea. Have you worked on many differentials?

nope this will be my first shot at it worked on just about everything else though and i understand the way they work and the parts inside i'm second year parts tech so i have an idea lol. with the rest of the pathy though is there any other major changes that most people find need to be changed like i heard with the calmini 3" lift it causes the cv boots to bind and rip

The boots tend to rip when you crank the bars a little too high. I did this, then lowered them a touch and its been fine since. With any modification, there are some things that may pop up no matter what you do. Searching and reading will help you a ton if you got some time. As for the diff, get a manual! Lots of things you want to be careful of!!

 

Oh, and if your worried about changning things, have you changed the timing belt?
