Is there any sort of limited slip unit available for the Dana 61 (3.07)?

Does ARB make an air locker?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Nov-02 AT 12:48 PM (EST)]I had a Detroit Locker installed in my Dana 61 when my ring & pinion went out. Originally this diff came with a limited slip, the clutches were in bad shape and left me hanging a couple of times, instead of putting money into the LS rebuild I put the $ into the locker. I still have the old carrier with clutches on the shelf. I had some one do the work for me, I have 4.10 gears and as I recall I needed a different carrier. Cost for a total rebuild and locker was $1,150. The labor cost was $150, I thought that was a good deal. I really like this setup, I do a lot of 4 wheeling in the mountains and it hooks up very well. It does take more attention driving on icy roads but does very well in the snow.

Here in KC we have a LOT of icy roads, that is why I was hoping ARB made an air locker for it :-) Otherwise a LS unit will have to do.

I contacted Randy's and Reider by eMail a couple of weeks ago with no replies.

-Update...

I got on the phone to both places and found that ARB does make an air locker. They both said the same one that fits a 60 with < 4.10 gears will fit the 61. The air locker will fit 30 spline axles only. The price is high for one of those babies $608+~25 shipping at Reider & is std stock item, $712 at Randy's and of course it is the last one in stock and they won't have them any more... No more ARB's for Dana 60's?

Now I just have to pull an axle to count the splines. I figure I can get new axles if req'd, -keeping fingers crossed.

Good luck on the ARB, that will be sweet. If you get in a bind on that let me know, I am not sure my carrier will work with your gearing but I could see freeing up some room and parting with that LS setup.
