Well, I have the original open-carrier that came out of this truck. So, maybe the no-slip is the way to go

Is it a 3 pinion carrier? Most likely is if it's original, a drop in locker won't work in the 3 pinion carrier.

I have no actual experience with them but have seen a bunch of videos because i thought about getting one for my Dana 80.
I don't remember all the details. They do not actually lock when the switch it pressed. it uses a ramp design to actually engage them and the tires must rotate a certain amount before they actually engage. Maybe on a street driven truck it's not much of an issue but off-road it definitely can be. The larger your tires, the longer it takes for them to engage as well.
they are not like an ARB, Yukons version, Auburn or ox's electronic version. I also don't think they can be engaged at any speed...my memory is a little rusty and think ARB is the only one that can be engaged whenever. Like I said, there is good and bad to all of them.
sorry, that's all I have atm, not much to go on but I'm sure if I go back and watch videos of actual use, I can come up with more concerns

The one I put in my truck stays locked. Sure the tire may have to spin half a revolution to engage the locks but once it's engaged it stays engaged and doesn't lock or unlock until one side spins like I think your trying to say. The factory e locker can also be engaged while moving. Not sure on the aftermarket e lockers though.
you definitely can't beat the price you got yours for

Not sure, don’t remember. I’ll have to look at it tomorrow.
