I am pulling apart a Cruiser 3rd member to replace bearings and install a new Ring and pinion to remedy some noises
Pulling it apart unfortunately i found it has the Gov Lock but what has perplexed me more is when i pulled the ring gear off it had a spacer between the gear and the diff. And it is not a one piece spacer but four individual pieces. This diff was equipped with the Gov Lock in the 80s sometime per history of the rig.
my question is, Did they make the gov locks differnt for the deeper gear set and the spacers are needed or is this something weird that was done a while ago.
The gears that are pulled out are 3.70 and will be replaced with the same. I am not excited about the spacers and it might be time to put a once piece spacer in if it is needed.
