    True-trac, Eaton posi, Detroit locker?

    Like the title says. I have a used unistalled E-locker out of a H3, but I would like to have power to both wheels all or most of the time. Post your experiences.

    Most are going to say True Trac which I've never heard of anyone having problems.

    I've got an Eaton and it has done very well. They are both about the same in price.

    eBay Store - RONS MACHINING SERVICE: PACKAGE DEALS, GM 8.5 8.6 10 BOLT, GM-8.875 PASSENGER 12 BOLT

    This guy on Ebay is where a lot of people, including me, bought their stuff from. Lowest price and great service! Good luck!

    over the years i think ive seen 1 problem with a detroit tru-trac. MAYBE 2 or 3 problems with other companies...

    just stick with a big name and youll be fine.

    Another vote for Detroit TrueTrac here. Mine's running solid.
    (kind of a side note, but aren't they made by Eaton?)
    Shralp' it heavy.
