Help w/Lock Rite
I purchased a Lock Rite Power Trax and will install it myself.
I think I get all of it except that I have a full floating 1989 10 1/4 rear end. I believe (I've not taken it apart yet) that instead of a lock bolt holding the pinion shaft, there may be a roll pin that keys the pinion shaft in place.
Can the roll pin be reused or does it need to be replaced?

Lock Right Installation
You guys were right it had a lock bolt.
Like you all have said it is a pretty straight forward installation. Just read the directions a couple of times.
Nice product and seems to work at least as well as a Detroit Locker I once had.
About seven years ago I filled the case with Valvoline Synthetic. When I drained it out for this job I used a clean drain pan. The stuff looked like the day I put it in and there was no evidence of wear anywhere so when I was finished I put the same oil back in the case. Saved $30 bucks.

So how much clanking and banging is there ?
I'am still interested in a lockright for my 95 F-450 but I'am still wondering if the rear end would grenade with 8000lbs on the back of the truck. The truck has a Dana 80 but when you got that much weight riding on the tires with both axle shafts locked together what will let go.
