Was that in the rear 14bolt? If so, how hard was it. I have heard it is not hard just want to know from someone who has done it. Thanks

The hardest part of installing a Detroit Locker in a 14-bolt FF is hanging onto that 50-lb chunk of slimy steel once you drop out the diff.
It's slippery, heavy and awkward to hang onto. Other than that it's a piece of cake!

I think Shannon in a past life worked in a NASCAR pit crew. He couldnt have spent more than 2 hours doing it. I took one look at my ez locker for my 12 bolt and said" ok a shop is going to do this."

I'd recomend a good size piece of plywood under the diff when you're working on it. If you do drop the carrier it will land on the plywood instead of concrete.

Thanks for the info all. I just got my 14bff, so I think I might have it welded first to save $, but I think I might change it to a Detroit after I get some $. I am going to have it welded like the article in the tech area, so I can just throw in a Detroit later. I can wait to get the 14bff under my truck.

Please let us know what you think. I'm thinking about a detroit,but I'm concerned about it's road manners, especially on snow and ice.
