power trax no slip thud going down road

well im hoping this is normal but it seems since i installed my powertrax noslipp my backlash has become noticably larger. basically when going down the road and i let of gas then get back on it there is a thud from the ring gear striking the pinion. has anyone else experienced this with their locker???

 

Yea same thing with mine, and when i go from reverse to drive, or park to reverse, there is a pretty noticeable jerk and clunk. People at richmond gears said its to be expected. They also said that sometimes you will hear a pop noise but its not anything wrong. Just what i was told from those guys, i put mine in about a week ago.

 

ok cool just making sure!!!! cheers

 

have fun with it... i know i did

 

i went and hit my first trail while locked tonight right after the install.

 

Im putting mine in on Thursday, I cant wait! How quickly did you get yours after you ordered?

 

How did it do for ya?

It took mine about 2 weeks from Summit.

 

How much did you pay?

 

what a coincidence, im puttin mine in thurs too. got it 5 days after i ordered it too.

 

I think around 460, thats with the install instructions and the lubes and what not.

 

Where do you live in NC? Mine took a month to get to me But there were parts on Backorder for it.

Edit: i payed $430.72, plus the oil and stuff.

 

i live right across from uncc, gonna hopefully get it done thurs mornin and try it out thurs night

 

Wow dang, thats where i go to school, and i live like 10 mins up the road from there. Im trying to get mine installed Thursday morning too, run it through the break in period of like 50-75 miles then hit some trails and try it out.

 

i wouldnt think it has anything to do with backlash.

Maybe when letting off the gas it disengages the locker then getting back on the coupler cogs arent lined up and the cogs or making noise re-engaging/meshing.

 

mine makes a lil of a clunk, when it is engaging but that was to be expected. not to bad. got a nice chirp everytime i hit a tight turn too, that outta get some looks..gonna try it out offroad tomo and see how she does

 

If you were running an open diff like me before your gonna like it! Slow corners are going to take awhile for me to get used to.

 

yeah, open diff=fail. i really expected it to be alot harder to install than it was. hardest part was gettin the damn ring gear off. thought it wasnt ever gonna come loose, but then we blow torch'd that bitch til she got hot and then she came off.
