I didn't replace it with a new one, but some used parts a friend had. The parts were the same design as mine. Now it will not stay engaged. It pops under load and sometimes just free spins like it is neutral.

I know I am slightly over the recommended ratings. I am about 265hp with my LT1 and I am running 36 Iroks on my Dana 44. But it has held for over 10 years. My concern comes from the fact that the last two lock rights my friend bought did the same thing brand new - they would pop and not stay engaged. He is still running but has spacers wedged between the two halves so that there is no way for it to unlock.

Any way I ended buying the Spartan last night when I found A deal on it for just over $200. Hopefully it will hold up.
