Lockers Anyone?

[Andrew B]

Hi Folks:
Do you have any advice on running a locker in the rear axle of a 2006 F-350 4x4? I have been doing some research and like the Eaton Elocker and the OX cable shift.
Any help/advice/experiences are greatly appreciated.
Peace
Andrew

detroit no spin, works great, decent street manners, quiet, bulletproof.

i would say eaton or a detroit

Did you ever consider and ARB air locker?? They're great kits, but do require mounting air compressor and run lines. Just a suggestion. If not, then Detroit. Good luck with whatever choice you make.

ditto on the detroit and air locker...

The Eaton E-locker intrigues me as well. Anybody run one (in a PSD)?

I've run a full blown detroit locker in the F&R of my early 90's 4runner. I drove it daily and had a 5spd. It actually had better road manners than I'd ever expect. I went from Open diff to it and couldn't really tell the difference. I'm debating putting a detroit locker in the rear of my FX4.

What is a no spin? A Tru-trac?

that is what Detroit called their top of the line full case automatic locker, or at least it was a few years ago when i built jeeps. May have changed the name now the truetrac is a limited slip

the ox locker is garbage. they say it's bullet-proof but for the fork to move and lock the two haves together you have to rock back in forth learned this the hard way at EJS. the eaton is the same as a detroit w/selectability in case you didn't know eaton owns detroit.
