I got my lock rite off ebay for cheap and I imagine you could do the same for a aussie locker

I am running one I bought off Clay about 3 years ago. If I am right he blew the pins when a shaft let go, he replaced the pins sold it to me and its been fine ever since.

I got mine a few years ago when they first came out and were only $199. Ive put about 30K miles on the locker which is in the rear of my yota. The truck was my daily driver for a while. I have not had me diff out in the past 30K but I have changed the gear oil a few times and have not found anything out of the ordinary. For the price, how well it works you cant beat it. Cya Stinson

I emailed them two years ago and they said they were starting to develop one for the 8.25, then I emailed them in december and they said they had finished the design up and were sending everything to the manufacturer with hopes that the first ones would be out in late spring or some time there abouts

Thank you for your interest in the Aussie Locker. We have developed an
Aussie Locker for the Chrysler 8.25 29 spline and they are on order. We are
hoping they will be in the manufacturing schedule by the end of March.

I checked w/ aussie, and here's the reply they sent me on it!!!
