I just got my locker in the mail. Before I tear the rear cover off, I would like to have all the parts needed to put it back together. Is there a gasket there? I crawled over the truck and it looks like some type of liquid gasket was used by the OEM. Someome at work said they thought is was gasket sealer. What do I need? Thanks.

 

Yeah, it's silicone sealant. Just remember to clean the sealing surfaces GOOD before putting everything back together.

 

How much do lockers run? It may be fun for me to do, too.

 

What year and model is your Ram?
On some '03's and 04's there are gaskets for the front and rear.
Silicone is a pain in the *** and the gaskets work much better.

 

I have an 04 ram qc 4x4 w/ 4.7 and 3.55 gears.

 

You can expect to spend $300-$450 depending on which you get plus install.
If you don't know much about rear-ends have it professionally installed, setting the backlash is critical to longevity and proper operation.

 

I bought the lock-right from Rocky Mountian Outfitter. Put it in last night. I had a Quick-Lock in my chevy from 4wheelparts. they are the same thing. 4wheelparts did not have a Quick-lock for the 9.25 diff. Anyway, I put it in, in 2 hours start to finish (remember I have done it before). Piece of cake. Only need to pull one axle shaft out 2 inches. No removing the ring gear and no moving the driver side axle. Hardest part was to remove the right tire an brake caliper on order to slide the axle out 2 inches. Took longer to clean the old gasket off.

I have a '04 1/2 ton quad cab 5.7 hemi ram with 9.25 chy rear end with 3.55 gears.

Paid about $320 total from Rocky Mountain Outfitters.

It is made to slip in normal turns but grab when torque applied. I had one in my '95 chevy 1/2 with 9" lift and 38's and LOVED it. I'll never own a truck with out one.
