Experience with new 4 pinion Eaton E Locker?
#11
Had them in front and rear for about 10 months and about 10K miles with no issues. 3 trips to Moab as well as small Saturday trips locally about once a month and they have worked as expected. Running 33s with 3.73 gears.
I have run ARBs in the past and would have installed them again if elocker was not available. On previous vehicles with ARB, had a bad air solenoid and cracked airlines. They were easy fixes but more parts to carry on a trail. It was never a snagged or ripped airline as most elocker fans will use as the example to not get an ARB. A wire and airline can be routed through a vehicle with the same level of protection.

That's promising to read. I think I'm going to be taking this route then. The shop pushed for ARB, but as I said, I really don't want air lockers. If ARB made e lockers, I might be going that route.

Mind sharing a link? Would be good to know as I'm moving to 37's. Checked the owners manual and didn't find any tire size restrictions.
