Does anyone know where I can find a d30 or Chrysler 8.25 Aussie? Torq master has been out of stock for a month now on both.

Beat me to it I was going to suggest a Spartan. Just as strong and basically the same price.

I recommend a full case locker for the D-30. The stock carrier is weak and can split.

I run Detroits on my D-30's, its also silent, no more click-click-click when turning.

The Detroit is about twice the money of an Aussie but if you snap a carrier you will be looking at 3 times that to replace gears/carrier/bearings and set-up.

You will have to have your local diff guy set the backlash again if you install a Detroit.

IMHO, its worth the extra insurance.

This pic shows the lack of "meat" on the stock carrier

Detroit on the left, Stock carrier in the middle(3.55-down break) and stock carrier on the right(3.73+ break)
