    Last I checked (couple of months ago) ARB is the only selectable locker on the market for our trucks. There are a bunch of mechanical lockers out there, but if you're having ECGS build your Diffs, spend the extra on an ARB. Mechanical lockers get old quick on the street...

    I replaced my Powertrax No-Slip with an ARB when I did my Regear.

    Just look at the build thread
    Just have another member that's fine it before help you out. There's no need to pay a shop hundreds of dollars for labor to bolt in some diffs. Especially not the rear.

    if you dont want/need an arb i'd go with a detroit. mechanical locker no ancillary items needed and strong as shit. ive ran them in crawlers and have one in the rear of my tow rig. youll get a bit of chirping on turns when on throttle but nothing that you wont get use to.

    I was thinking about rewiring my atrack switch to actuate my locker once I get it. Not positive that it's doable but that was my thought since the locker will emanate the need for that option

    I put a Detriot Trutrac in the rear of mine. It cost me around $1900 for the front and rear gears, the truetrac, and the bushing in the clamshell plus shipping mine back to ECGS.
