Searching and need help

[Roger63]

I've been looking and looking for a sure grip unit for my 8.25 rear. I have ordered 3 different units 2 from jegs and 1 from Summit. Each time they take the order then cancel due to whatever reason, doesn't matter. Does anybody know of a reliable source to find this part?
Thanks Roger

Wouldn't hurt to give Cass a call at Doctor Diff. Even if he doesn't sell that size he probably has suggestions.

This is one of them that I ordered and they told me it was discontinued

I'm trying to reuse my axles and they are 27 spline, which seems to be the problem. Everything is 29 spline

Who is Cass?

Who is Cass?

Cass Eslick is the name, Dr Diff is his business name.
Good guy, smart and helpful.
27 spline is prior to 1996, 29 spline is later.

Looks to be in stock at DoctorDiff. Still, you should call ahead. He's in Montana.

So I couldn't reach Cass by telephone and I took a chance. His website said it was in stock. I sent a follow up email today asking when it will ship. Cass responded saying by the end of the week. I'm assuming its coming from the same manufacturer that has failed the last 3 orders. I hope not but we will see. Thanks to The Mechanic and Kern dog
