Well...the trac-lock is not cutting it
A while back I posted about ARB lockers.
I instead rebuilt the factory trac-lock...well I need more lock LOL
In the slow crawling I do to get in and out of the camping/hunting/fishing spot with the wife and kids the trac lock just does not lock up well enough.
It I get on it and get it spinning then it will lock up enough but then I fear parts will break, I prefer to slow crawl.
I had my Bronco locked up with Detroit's but I cant do that here it is my DD
So I am back looking at lockable diffs.
I have used ARB and they work well but I came across this Eaton E-Locker
Has anyone done this?
I only saw it for the rear though
EDIT: I found a dana 50 one too

I have an Eaton E Locker in my front diff of my 07 F350. It works very well. It will not however lockup on a roll, in fact they caution you to be going less than 3mph, or risk damage. That said, it does in fact work as advertised. I use a Yukon Gear Grizzly locker in the rear diff, works the same as a Detroit Locker.

ECTED's Features and Benefits
The ECTED is designed to be controlled by a vehicles on-board control system. Listed below are some of the performance capabilities when integrated into such a system:
Variable Torque Transfer Capability. The ECTEDs torque transfer is electronically controlled and is infinitely variable from essentially an open differential to that of 100% torque transfer. This allows the transfer of torque to be modulated to give the vehicle maximum traction without compromising vehicle stability.
Automatic Engagement & Disengagement. The ECTED is "seamless" to the driver. When wheel slippage is sensed it instantly and automatically engages to the torque bias level required. Likewise, it automatically disengages immediately when torque transfer is not needed. Additionally, the friction-based clutches of the ECTED allow for smooth and quiet engagement and disengagement unlike "positive clutch" style differentials which are abrupt and noisy.
Programmable to Anticipate Wheel Slip. Since the clutch actuation is electronic, the ECTED does not have to rely on wheel slip to be activated as with viscous-type and hydraulic designs. When controlled by a system that monitors throttle position, the ECTED can be engaged when a rapid increase in throttle position is sensed, indicating a desire for maximum acceleration and traction. In this situation, the ECTED engages in anticipation of the need for maximum traction.
ABS & C-lock Compatible. Because the ECTED is electronically controlled and is capable of instantaneous disengagement, it can be deactivated at any point in time so as to not interfere with ABS systems. It is also designed to accept C-lock designed axle shafts.
Programmable to Meet Vehicle Performance Requirements. When connected to a vehicles on-board control system and monitoring conditions such as wheel speeds, steering position, throttle position, yaw, etc., the ECTED can be controlled to meet a variety of vehicle performance requirements.
Fits Into Most Existing Axle Housings. The ECTED has been developed in several sizes and has been designed to fit within many current OEM axles without modification except for a wire entrance hole.

How about a Detroit Truetrac? It's a geared limited slip so there are no clutches to wear out.
I'm gonna be putting one in my F250 so I can launch at the drag strip better, plus it works great for my F150 Lighting, both at the drag strip and autocrossing.
There are guys in the 7.3L forum who have them on their 4x4's too and like the Truetrac.
