93 LC with factory lockers, 180k miles, bone stock...
Did the front axles a while back with parts from CDan and recently had the head gasket, tires, brakes, etc done at a local shop. As soon as I got the truck back I tried the lockers (for the first time in a long time) but they didn't engage. Tried light tapping with a small hammer on the rear end and did a lot of figure eights on a dirt road, but still nada. Then I noticed a clicking coming from the rear. Took it back to the shop thinking brakes. They said it was something in the rear end and recommended a Toyota specialist on the other side of town. Before I throw myself on their mercy I wanted to post here. I also looked in my FSM but couldn't find anything about the lockers (?).
I want to think something didn't fully engage, and now won't disengage, and is catching inside the rear end. Any suggestions? I really like the vehicle and look forward to driving it again, but not until I know wtf is making the click, click, click.....
