Need some help with a D44
For you axle gurus...
Is there a locker available for a D44 that replaces the carrier? I've got a full-size D44 from a 72 blazer that I'm building up. I'll need to switch the carrier because it's got 3.73 gears and I'm wanting to bump up to 5.13 or 5.38 gears, which is past the carrier break. If I can skip buying the carrier and just get a locker which replaces the carrier that would be ideal. Thanks guys!

oh ok... maybe they just stopped making one particular ox locker.
I know a LS would be silly, and on a trail rig a detroit would likely be better and cheaper anyways. Now all I gotta do is start saving my money!
