Hey Khaiwi, did you get the lockers already? how is it? how much did it cost? did you try it or not yet?

Tell us your experience please.

khaiwi · Post by **khaiwi** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 12:40 am

Well, am very excited too.

Just collected the lockers from FedEx (didnt wait for delivery tomorrow lol), already have an appointment to fit them at al jallaf and expected to be ready in few days time.

I have to do the leaning of the R&P then I will be calling for a short afternoon "trip" mainly I will rely on a couple of volunteers to test the lockers and check the self recovery process.

Iguana and Megamoe are a must in this test trip hehehehehe, so, see it to believe it.

Cost will be finalised once the job is complete. The new mod includes the 4.56 R&P (Yukon) with complete installation kit, Rear and front Lockers with cables and diff covers.

I consider this mod plus 33" tires as my Ramadan/Eid gift, lol, remember big toys for big boys hehehehehehe

Wish me luck guys.

OK Dear Khaiwi I am ready any time to go with you. Just have it installed and we will go and try it together.

By the way, one little advice, tell Al Jallaf that they have to relocate the Diff. Oil release vaulve. In my case they didn't and when I was pushing the car to high revs, it used to leak diff. oil. First do the leaning (Which I think around 250KM). There was a program for that, as far as I remember it was driving the car for 50KM on 60KM/H and then leave it to cool down for 8 hours, then again another 50KM on 80KM/H and another 8 hours cooling and then take it for a long drive of 150KM on 120KM/H, cooling is another 8 hours and then the car is ready (Correct me if I am wrong please). After that try the car on high revs and speed to check the oil leak. If the diff oil is leaking you will see oil all around your rear window.

Good luck and congratulations again. The lockers are a lovely piece of modification that you will never regret. R&P will give you unbleavable Torque and now your Black Diamond will go to more places and we will never be able to follow you

Thanks for the advice Iguana,,,, for the leaning part, we both have the info from the same source, he told me to do slow driving 25k intervals and cool the vehicle for about 4-5 hours. This will be repeated 4 times then drive 50 k with a bit higher stress on the drive train, cool the car longer time then last part is about 150k with higher speed.

If everything is fine and no leak, then you're done, just another diff oil change at 1000km.

The way u described it u sound like u had oil leak while testing...

Oh forgoy one thing,

No I will not go places where nobody will be able to follow me, cuz we go to the desert as one group and we need to all enjoy it together, am not a show off man hehehehehe

My main intention for the lockers is self recovery while cresting etc. And thats what I will test with you after the leaning period.

iguana · Post by **iguana** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 9:09 am

Yes Khaiwi, I had the leak while testing. Actually when it came back from Al Jallaf Mussafah to Abu Dhabi, it had the oil all around the rear window.

ANyway good luck and I am sure you will enjoy it.
