Detroit Locker
I have a chance to pick up a 10.25 Sterling with a Detroit locker to replace the old Dana 61 in my truck. Does anybody have any opinions? I am looking for suggestions, the Dana 61 has to go.
P.S. Is a Detroit Locker and a Detroit TrueTrac the same thing?

The locker is exactly that a full blown locker. It will link the axles together 1:1, and offer no slip.
The trutrac is a gear driven limited slip. It does not have clutches to wear but does have a limit to the amount of traction offered.
Did you not have a line on a 14b with a detroit?
