Did Detroit make an electronic version?

Pros and Cons of e-lockers vs not?

After a brief Google search, it appears that Eaton is made by Detroit and that's what I was originally looking at. Thanks for the clarification on the Ford 10.5 rear and Dana 60 front.

Eaton makes the Detroit locker, E locker, Detroit True track, and Eaton Posi. For the rear I would run a Detroit locker instead of the E locker, more simple and reliable design and it works all the time so you get better traction on the street, where as with an e locker it is either an open differential, or fully locked like a spool, neither of which is good for a street driven vehicle.
