Eaton E-Locker Pros, Cons?

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --><TABLE width="100%" border=0 itxtvisited="1"><TBODY itxtvisited="1"><TR itxtvisited="1"><TD vAlign=top itxtvisited="1">I am considering putting a locker in my rear diff. This truck is really great at spinning when I hammer it hard to to out on the hwy. There is just way too much torque going to one wheel.

This e-locker sounds great. Anyone have some solid info on these? Thanks.

As far as I know its not available for our trucks.

These are. It looks like a possibility for our front axle, if you infact have a 60, and not a 50, and the spline count is right.

So, what are most of you guys running in the rear end then? Just stand mechanical lockers or what?

I have a detroit locker in the rear of mine. It just automatically locks, whenever your on the throttle. Ive heard really good things about the True Trac. Most often they get put in the front, for pulling applications, but Ive also heard, if you want a limited slip, its about as good as it could get for the rear. Granted, this is all "what Ive heard". Personally, if I had to do it again, I would still have my detroit in my rear axle.
