Ouch! Why I prefer a spool if you are running light enough. Not that the bolts can’t work loose from a spool, but you don’t feel as bad when it goes pear-shaped.

This is why I support use of a torque wrench and red loctite. If you say you used one, no you didn't.
I broke one.

I had a friend of mine set it up after I broke an axle shaft which took out the detroit and gears. He used locktite but it may have been really old loctite and possibly no good. Not sure if that shit goes bad after awhile (years?) but whatever damn the luck. I had a spare diff with an Aussie that I threw in but I'M going to yank it back out and put a grizzly locker in.

I blew one apart too, used a torque wrench and red locktite on assembly about 5 years prior when it had the side gears replaced after a broke an inner axle shaft and blew all the teeth off them. The carrier was probably 15 years old total. Said fuck it and built a new third with a lunchbox instead to replace it

After all these years I thought the Detroit was the baddest thing in all the land. Turns out not so much. I now have a V6 Grizzly in the rear. Bout the strongest 8" third you can build I think. Still have a high pinion Detroit in the front tho. Will be putting it to the test in Sand Hollow in a couple weeks.
