Centre diff cross pin upgrade.

Post by up2nogood »

One for the guys with dual lockers:

Have you ever broken the centre diff cross pins and how hard was it to break? My transfer case is pissing out oil so I thought I might install the Maxidrive one piece unit while it's out being fixed.

Use your centre diff lock properly and it will be fine ;)

No not so far in the D1, but when and if it happens will be going the MD approach as this is the best way to go, so they all say.

I'm not sure that you will break it unless you are giving it heaps with big rubber and serious abuse eg. on rock.

A very good point - and for some reason engaging the centre diff lock seems to get forgotton about on these cars - lever confusion maybe?

We basically put the CDL in ASAP when off-road, and leave it there till were're fished, that way there's no chance of frigging the CDL with torque transfer from front to back ect. Don't worry about the clunking, that's normal with FT4WD.

I changed mine for a center cross from Jac Mac - I did break a stock pin once, but it was a weird break (I had 32", no axle lockers, and was not giving it hell...)
