You're not gonna out bacon us!!!
 
Locker is ordered for my Ford 8.8 LS diff. Woot woot!!!! I should have it no later than Tuesday.

I need to get my bearings and seals and I will be ready to get the rear end done.
 
I thought you could only put a locker in an open case.

PowerTrax offers the only 8.8 LS lunchbox locker out there. Part number 92-0688-2128. The locker was too good of a deal to pass up.
 
I can mark "register" off my list.
 
Yep, Ed! Me too!
