rear diff
after getting stuck the last time i have decided that the rear end needs a locker. i got some info from arb but im not sure about the complete price after the compressor and all. a detriot tru trac is what im after but i cant find the part number for my application. also i would really like an e-locker if possible for the rear.
any suggestions?
i am not interested in the clutch style rear limited slip. i've rebuilt to many of them and seen them fail when needed most.
what are you guys (and gals) running?.
tks

where can i get a part # for a detroit locker. I've tried e-mailing eaton. they want the spline count and axle size. I didnt think in 2001 ford ran different size axles and different splines. am i wrong?

Yes they need the spline count and axle size, and also the gear ratio. If you plan on doing bigger tire's and a gear swap some day, make sure what ever you buy will fit that gear ratio range. I think it's 35 spline 1.1/2 inch axle if i'am wrong someone will chime in and correct.

I ask because there are a few trucks pushing some good power that are running a Truetrac, plus I want one for my truck but haven't yet pulled the trigger due to funds.

I have a the Eaton Truetrac in my diff and it is holding up just fine. No problems whatsoever. It is part# 915A550.

Please explain why you feel this way. Is there any empirical data you can provide to back up your info?

All Superdutys (250's-350's SRW) use a Sterling 10.50 rear end... All OBS use a Sterling 10.25 (250's and 350's SRW).
