Question Front axle/diff mods for sled pulling?

What are the 3rd gen guys doing to the front differential if anything?

Is a locker needed? Or any other mods I don't know about? Without manual locking hubs, I'm not quite sure what I've got or need to do.

I'm not sure what's available for the AAM axles, but some sort of traction device would be desireable--preferably a selectable unit like an ARB so it behaves when driven on the street. I thought I heard Eaton has some sort of electric selectable lockers available in the chevy's....might want to check that out, as I think chevy is running the AAM's as well.

I think there's an electric locker (Eaton I think?) that alot of the Chevy guys run, so I'd say it should be around for 3rd Gen's as well.

I put the Eaton E in mine very pleased with pulling results but not pleased with putting in. Search my threads using Eaton E locker or something like that. There is lots of info.
