Put a ford 9" in my daughter's 95 YJ , 4.88 gears and a lockright locker, I know, not the strongest, but most she could afford, anyway it lasted for
1/2 a mile, warped the one side gear, so she sent it back, after a couple weeks they sent it back, one new side gear, she put it in last Sat. it lasted till this Sat. sheared the pins off. Now I know they aren't known to be the best lockers, but this is in a YJ with 4cyl engine, first one had no testing off road, I just took it over to get the brakes hooked up after 9" swap, second one she took it up a little 10' bank once and other then that she drove it to school 5 days, it went going around a corner on her way home on Saturday. As for installs, first one was put in when new gears were done by brother-in-law, ford master machanic and severe 4 wheeler, second time it was put in by my neighbour, 55 year old retired machanic/trucker, I have know doubt about either install. So what is going on here, any ideas? They may not replace this one, may say she is using it with too big of tires or to high a horse power, well as I say, it's an 18 year old girl with 31" ATs and a 2.5L.- posted
