Selectable lockers will always be better than limited slips. I ran Eaton E-lockers in my jeep and I'm thinking about adding one to the front diff of my F250. ARB lockers are good too but require an air source and tubing.

Air lockers have their place, I have them in my Jeep also but they also have their limitations. A Truetrac in your truck will serve you far better than a true locker. The Truetrac doesn’t wear out, no speed limitations, excellent road manners and it’s automatic. I put the Truetrac in my 2wd truck almost a year ago it has worked flawlessly.

I have two trepidations with selectable lockers which is why I went with a truetrac.
1. Selectable lockers have external parts that will eventually fail, especially in the rust belt. Worst case would be to fail stuck while locked.
2. What if someone borrowed the truck and locked it up on dry pavement...kind of wonder if something like an axle might break.

Agreed Detroit in the rear is golden never an issue. Lockright in front but may change for a grizzly.. it works but noisy.
I guess it depends if you want the ultimate traction. I plow and have a tree service I need a tractor and it delivers..
What he said: donkey. lol
