I don't see why the retailer should be responsible. This is a spartan product, I feel that the company should be the one to assist me. He bought it in 2011, I have the receipt but doubt the place is going to help me much.

I got the kit from a friend that never put it in his jeep. Rrp is getting out of retail sales and letting us dealers sell and assist to our customers When you buy something of theirs from private party or not an authorized dealer you get what you get and that is no tech assistance basically. The dealer that you bought your locker from should be dealing with your concerns that is why there is no real Yukon or USA standard tech lines because all of us dealers of their products are your tech assistants. Randy's owns Yukon and USA standard that is why you get through to Randy's ring and pinion when you call Yukon or USA standard and don't get the yukon or USA standard extension. But now I have left them a detailed message as well. After dialing a ton and just getting voicemail I dialed 5554 and told the guy I needed tech help and he transferred me to another voicemail. Found that all their extensions are 4 digit and 555x will get you to a extension. Well I just called Yukon again for the millionth time and decided to start trying extension numbers. This is bad customer service on their part. I'm not sure how important that is tho since I can't seem to talk to anyone at Yukon and even after leaving a message they won't call me back. I don't like how the blocks don't sit center with the diff pin. I believe that the locker itself was made wrong. As you can see from the video, both tires are new, same brand and psi, last year I had to do tube seals and axle u joints and found that the preload was too much so I replaced the diff bearings and reset the preload. Tire size - creates a locker that needs to ratchet consistently, and malfunction, if not Exactly the same size/brand/and air PSI.Īxle is straight, no brake drag. Unit bearing drag - causes the locker to try and lock.īent Housing - Axle is in side gear and clocking it so that its not true to the cam gear - causes the locker to try and lock. Transfercase - either drag on the driveshaft or in the TC will cause it to try and lock. Some common issues that create issues with a Insert locker (not just a spartan).īrake drag - causes the locker to try and lock.
