[QUOTE="ksilovich, post: 353599, member: 7976"] Im the guy IndianaCrawler is talking about. I had the same issue you are having. My axle is an HP D60 1979, rebuilt hub to hub with all new timken bearings/races/seals. New 35 spline chromoly shafts. I first installed them and drove them down my 300ft road and noticed that the axle shaft was rubbing the cap. So I did what they suggest and ground off some of the shaft to clearance them. No more shaft hitting the cap. But that did not solve all my issues. Mine would lock but once I was on an obstacle or hard on the throttle they would pop/bang/grind and come unlocked on me. I tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them a few times. But no luck. I flipped what side there were installed on and nothing. I then sent my in for warranty and reinstalled the slugs I had on my shelf. Another note is that the selector switch was staying in the locked position the entire time this was all happening. And I was able to turn the knob to switch from locked to unlocked. This is what they sent ECGS after having them for about a month and a half. [i]To Whom It May Concern, I received the set of YHC70001 Yukon Locking Hubs sent in for warranty consideration under RGA # 35830. I inspected the part and reviewed it with one of our Quality Engineers and found no manufacturing defect with the parts. We did, however, find that the axles were rubbing on the inside of the selector plates, one more than the other, which we believe caused the issue the customer was having with the part. The end of the axle must have been contacting the back of the plate while driving because there is galling on the back side of the plate. Our hubs are designed with roughly 0.200”-0.300” more clearance than other locking hub kits so this was not a defect in the design. This could have been caused by several factors. If the incorrect axles were used, it could have caused this. Not using or incorrectly installing the provided the 3/16” nylon flat washer would allow the axle to have some play and potentially contact the plate. Also, if the incorrect bearing/race combination was used, it could have offset the axle and caused the part to function incorrectly. If everything was installed properly and the axle still contacts the case, we recommend grinding the end of the axle down enough to clear the plate in both the “Lock” and “Free” positions. Since no manufacturing defect was found with the part, warranty is denied. I will ship the gears back to you on Tuesday, December 3rd unless I hear otherwise. I hope you find this explanation satisfactory and clear. If you have any questions, please contact your sales representative. Thank you, Warranty/Returns Specialist[/i] I am so livid at Yukon right about now. Luckily ECGS is standing to fight this and they return my money. I am working with ECGS right now to help them get there money back cause I believe this is BULLSH*T!!! I hope you have better luck then I do. [/QUOTE]
