The thick cut gears are made to run on a 3 series carrier so you don't have to replace the carrier when going to lower ratio that would normally use 4 series with a normal gear set.
Your "new" used locker looks like the previous owner didn't install the pinion correctly and it self clearanced on the carrier. You might want to keep an eye on that
@@DirtGarage .... I love your enthusiasm!!!... You might be right!....I wonder if mine looks a lil different because it's a two-wheel truck on a 1-ton rear axle... matched with the zf6... wonder if things are a little different. supposedly the two-wheel drives can tow a lil more.... I'm going to do some investigating, comparing and get back to you on this....
@@TheRealTaylorSmith-w9kthey're all the same sterling 10.5 from like 94-2017. Unless you have a F450 or up, you might get a Dana 80 or a sterling with SLIGHTLY thicker axle tubes.

That's what I was thinking, a thicker ring instead of having high/low ratio carriers.
good to know!!!
Never mind the locker, loving the hair!🤟🏼
Yeah Joe Dirt, Canadian style!
I have a 2016 F-250 with the E-Locker, works great.
Thats sick, i love cheap performance parts lol.
Although it looks like an antiwrap bar would be helpful. Looks like you were getting decent axle wrap.
There is a anti wrap there 🤣 But what you can't see is it ripped off the factory crossmember.. Gotta build a solid crossmember for it
@@DirtGarage all those toyota horsetorx twisting shafts and ripping brackets 😆
Nice upgrade!
So how’s it working out? I’m about to put one into an 06 sterling. All the carrier bearings are still the same size hey?
Nice shaft.... a little twist for funzies 😮
About to do the same. What gauge wire and thread size for the cable gland did you use?
Can tell this was a research project, before diving in
I wonder if the solder, heatshrink, connector, seal, wire coating is temperature rated to the gear oil temps
I see in the thumbnail solder was external to diff

Yeah it had a crush sleeve failure I was told. I'm well aware of that 🤣
There isn't a carrier break on a 10.25/10.5
Why are you using red rtv?!?!
Because it's what I had! It will be fine 🤣 Just not as pretty as black.
Ford.....😂
Look up Dodge in the dictionary an tell me what it said.... Lol, Ford in a Yota 😂
👊👍
I'm not going to lie those don't look like 1 ton axles.........
@TheRealTaylorSmith-w9k Well they came from a F350. Dana 60 front a Sterling 10.5 rear. As one ton as it gets 🤣
