[gary63]

Differentials what have you used and have?
What is the good and bad?
What do you think of power trax,detroit locker,ox trax,elocker,truetrac,and airlocker or what ever?
Witch would or are you using in front and rear?

Depends on wheather it will be a DD or trail rig. The ultimate for both would be ARB lockers IMO. for my trail rig I plain on an Aussie in the front and a lincoln locker in the back.

I have used and have a detroit lock and fac.limeted slip.thebdetroit is alittle noise and don't work to good on the street with snow and ice for day driver.
Both work good on the trail.

I have a friend trying out the aussie in his front right now so far he like it.
the only bad thing is the clicking when he goes around turns. but he said he is get use to it.

Like big Jim said, it depends on whether or not you will use it for a daily driver, or if say your wife will drive it. If so, then you need a selectable locker, of which ARB is the best. The other automatic lockers are a matter of price and how much strength you need.

will I know it depins on what you use it for but I just figerd if everone would voice there apinin it may help some of the people looking might get some idel

A lot of people use lunchbox lockers with good success. If you don't go too big on the tires, say 33". Beyond that, the stock carrier is not going to be able to handle it safely. Then an automatic like a Detroit is needed. But you also have to take into account which axle you are dealing with. If you have a D35, I would not lock that one at all. Some people have with success and not gone over 31" tires. But also many have had them give them grief. I have a d35 and will not lock it. The D30 is a good front end and is good for 33s locked, but gets a little dicey with 35s.

I know Rene runs a welded D35 on 33's. and he wheels it hard, its also his DD

[gary63]

know any one with a ox or a elocker I herd that the elocker is not very good over stock wheels and have brok stell and theox locker is hard to ingage and you have to spin the wheels.

[bigjim350]

I think OrangeXJ has a ECTD e-locker. From what I have seen it works great. But when it is unlocked it is a limited slip, so he rarely needs to lock it.

He seems to be the exception.

I put a powertrax no slip in my C8.25, it woke up the beast within, I love it. I plan on adding an aussie up front soon.
