Thumbs up Eaton e-locker on its way

FINALLY! eaton has released a few lockers, no more untill next month though


Still nothing for the rear ends?

I am thinking about just welding my rear end......

if the welds are good enough how much of a chance is there that there could be a problem down the road?

Turning on dry pavement or what? I don't think you will enjoy a spool on the street. I would think you would be fine with the OEM LSD rear and the Eaton upfront.

Welding rear would be a no go. In are mud trucks with about the same hp and half the tq they don't last more than a season. That is at 150 ft a weekend. So I would wait on the rear if I were you.

IF you don't break anything, you will at minimum be replacing tires about every 10k miles.

Do NOT weld up the spider gears, youre just asking for trouble in a 7k lb truck...

Go with a oem lsd out back, and eaton when it comes out in the front.

Cool deal though, any idea on release date or how much?
