OK, I am thinking I want an Eaton E-locker for the front (Obviously) and I was thinking a grizzly locker for the rear. I also want a strait center link but I am unsure of which one, superdiesel's maybe:confused: I would like a price from any vendors here that sell all, or some of the above listed items. P.M. or post in this thread please... Also I would appreciate some opinion's on rear lockers and also center links. I already have a G80 in one truck and a dodge torsen in the other Duramax, but I want something that always locks, for instance when drifting and such, currently my G80 kicks in and out of posi when drifting in the rain..:mad: Not looking for the cheapest price, just some one reputable that will get me my parts when they say they will;) Thanks in advance:):thumb:

Yeah, I plan on doing a little sled pulling this season but its more so in preperation for next season after my 05 is payed off I'm buying an LML and putting the 05 on the trailer.. Point being its still my DD for another 6 months or so.. Is there a differance in the spline count? or is the 38 the one and only for our trucks?

Nope they have ones for stock spline count also. Figured I would ask what the plan was might work out better stepping up to biggier axle and locker at the same time. Since your getting a new truck to tow it with.

Were did you get yours Henry? Do the bigger axles require machining to the housing? I was under the impression you needed a special tool to ream out the housing to compensate for the bigger axles:confused: Might be over kill for my plans but It's worth looking into:thumb:

I got my e-locker from Sadler Machine for 699 best I found. I've been told by a few guys to skip the locker and put in a spool. My truck sees mostly street use so I am not really sure about a spool. Just a thought if its going to be a toy.

I believe ARB has a locker out for the rear now. If it is going in a truck you drive on the street often, I think it is a great option. You can leave it open for normal driving, but when you want to play, just flip a switch for spool like operation.

Yes you have to ream the axle tubes out. I have mine from Randys and ring but I think it my be over kill for me drag racing and not being a puller lol

It is going to be a toy (completly) when its payed off, but its still my DD for another 6 months or so.. I still want to keep it streetable even after I get my new DD/tow truck, that way I can still take it out and play on the streets once and awhile..:joker: Hence, why I figured the Grizzly would be a happy medium, locks better then a G80, stronger, but still disengages when street driven.. I want the E-locker after looking at the pictures from last weekends pull. In Every picture you can see my front drivers side spinnning and throwing dirt while the P-side never engaged:( I ended up second and lost by 6' :mad:... I still drag race the truck too, so I dont want to make it a dedicated puller, just a diverse truck that will hold its own in the dirt or down the track... Thanks for the replys fella's :beer
