I am getting ready to put a Dana 44 rear end in my 89 Jeep Wrangler and want to put in a locker. I am considering going with a selectable locker because I do drive my jeep on pavement quite a bit and we take several trips to the snow each year. I don't want to go with an ARB locker-too much work and was interested in hearing about experiences with the Eaton Elocker. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Another option is the Detroit Electrac. Operates as a helical gear-based limited slip when unlocked.

I don't have any experience with the Electrac, but I do have something similar: an OEM Tru-Lok pulled from a Wrangler Rubicon. It too is selectable with a helical gear limited slip when unlocked. Very nice to have the LSD always there - transparent on pavement, great traction and handling in the snow.

Not many people like the Detroit Electrac due to its external solenoid mechanism being so exposed and vulnerable to trail damage. I know it'd never survive the rocks my TJ tends to get wheeled in.

Am I reading right Bill, are you suggesting a spool for a street vehicle?
