NO, you do not have to replace the hole rear end, its no different than a car or pickup, only bigger, way bigger... I don't know what model rear axle you have, on mine it was a complete " third member" similar to a ford 9 inch in car terms... the differential assembly comes out the front, no back cover like most trucks or car differentials, it like the ford 9 inch, disconnect the driveshaft, unbolt 12 or so bolts on the differential cover, undo the axle bolts by the wheels, slide the axles out a bit so they are free of the differential and drop the differential out and replace with a complete locker assembly, at the same time I changed my gearing ratio as well, I think the whole assembly used cost me 350 plus shipping, big truck units never seems to go bad. all I had to do is run an air line to it and a air switch / valve to engage / disengage it. and to keep this boating related, im looking for a Vdrive, preferably hurth but open to others... 1.2 or so ratio... well, we do have to tow our boats after all, that's why I built this truck.. eric ----- Original Message ----- From: tomdepot<mailto:[email protected]> To: UnifliteWorld<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 6:29 PM Subject: [UnifliteWorld] Re: uniflite MEGA 28
Eric, Did you have to replace your whole rear end to get the air locker? I asked a guy about one today and he told me it would need a whole new rear end, axle, blah blah blah.
