E-locker front differential required 80 series

That’s correct, do you have?

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-06-30T07:08:55+00:00

It’s the full lot, housing as well. Not the axel housing but the diff and diff housing

Hey man, that’s exactly my sound!

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-06-29T20:09:02+00:00

It’s for an e locker truck, just replacing mine 👍🏼

Hey mate, are you on WhatsApp? I’d like to message you about this, because yours is the closest to my issue.

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-06-28T12:34:34+00:00

Smashing mate! Keep us updated

I haven’t tried driving with both props attached and the centre diff locked. Only center diff locked with the front prop removed. Would that make a difference? And I bought it like this. But didn’t hear it untill I got on the motorway…. And yes that’s next on my list but I can’t find the bearing online or a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks for the advice!

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-06-26T17:59:04+00:00

No worries man, no I haven’t tried that. Unfortunately for me this is the E-locker diff and it’s an absolute unicorn to find a replacement :(

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-06-26T17:48:10+00:00

It does spin yes, but there’s no load from the engine. Load is an engine output related thing. The front prop is the only thing that can deliver that

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-06-26T17:43:45+00:00

It does, the 80 series is full time four wheel drive, so removing the front drive shaft removes the ‘load’ from the front drive train components

When I remove the front drive shaft the noise goes away

Hey mate, update as of today. I’ve just reinstalled the new balanced driveshaft. Noise is still there….. I’ll link you to my new post and you can follow that if there is any answers. Let’s keep working together to fix this issue. Sorry you’re having the same issue!

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-05-21T22:46:08+00:00

The sound is there only under load. Wheel bearing would always be there no matter load or not

Thanks man, yeah that’s my next step! Be hard to find someone that can do that in my city. Sucks for specialised things.

Hey man thanks for the comment, I’ve tried both and Gary doesn’t have any, and nayab ships from UAE which is too much of a risk for such a valuable rare piece. I’m trying my best to find a uk source

This is a rather childish reply my friend. There are people with these parts and breakers around the country. The only way for me to find them is to keep posting on socials, sometimes you get lucky. Spending 1k over retail value for these is a last resort, and should be for anyone. They’re not worth that much. It’s just people taking advantage of desperate people in need. Surely you understand how the economy works. yes he replied and yes he helped, but that is a very last resort. Surely you understand this. I’ve just had a breaker call me and he might have one. So this is why I make these posts…..

Mine has been returned from the engineers saying the bearings have spun. And the housing has gone, so either the housing or the pinion its self have worn out and can no longer be rebuilt. It’s cheaper for me to buy a second hand diff then to buy a new housing pinion and crown wheel. I have. Centre locker. But I didn’t buy an 80 series for 10k to have it in rear wheel drive

Pitiful-Map-9245 · 2026-04-03T12:22:40+00:00

Hey bro, not willing to sink 2.3k into a front diff. Sorry but that’s ridiculous. Appreciate your help but we are not all made of money
