Anyone have one of these installed in there daily driver? I've heard mixed results and was thinking of putting one in my front end.

 

I don't know about in a jeep, but in my ram is installed Eaton lockers in the front and rear only cuz the Detroits make a ton of noise for a dd plus the horrible pull to the locked side when u brake.... Takes a lil getting used to on a dd but I did it, but AGAIN THIS WAS IN A DODGE RAM with a Dana 44 front axle..... I don't know how it will act in a jeep.... This was what happened in my ram.

 

I have Detroit lockers/tru trac in my daily driver cj8. It was ordered from factory that way in 81 and I've kept it that way. Locked in the rear and tru trac in the front is a nice combo and it isn't bad to drive as long as you are aware that it will act differently in curves etc.

 

I have the Detroit Softlocker in the rear and the Tru-trac in front of my 2dr, 6 speed, DD. It makes driving interesting and takes some getting used to. Has some serious quirks and you need to make certain it is something you can live with. I read everthing I could and watched videos of jeeps with them before making my decision. The Softlocker is locked when power is applied. So when turning a corner you need to get all the way thru the turn before applying power. If not then it tends to send you toward oncoming lane. If you let of the throttle thru a curve, it oversteers and tries to bring the rear of the Jeep around. It's very predictable, just need to learn the quirks. The Detroit also clicks and bangs. Occasionally it will bang with such force that it actually moves the Jeep sideways a couple inches. Even with all that, I love it and don't intend to give it up. Offroad it works great. The reasons I went with the Detroit Softlocker are price, reliability and simplicity.
