Has anyone herd anything about the new electric locker from eaton. My buddy told me that they were going in the new hummers?!?! I dunno. I was just courious if they would be hitting the market anytime soon?

yeah they are pretty sweet, but they probably wont be out into the aftermarket for awhile.... i think the detroit electrac and the auburn ECTED are coming out before that... all are comparable in operation

i diddn't know that either one ofe those guys were coming out with electric locker?! When are they supposed to come out?

the units for the dana 60 will be ready october im told

From my experience, dont hold yer breath waiting on a product to be released. When I did my axle swap back in 96, I made the mistake of putting in open diff's with the expectation of powertrax releasing its much touted command locker (electric lockrite that fit in open diff) Too bad it never happened. It seems like every time you call a manufacturer for release dates they say a few months, Its like a contractor saying it will only take 2 weeks to finish the job.

Well i talked to a eaton engineer and he told me that mainly only the OEM are going to be able to get the E-locker. They even sent me a CD video showing how it operated. they installed a set of them in a F-150 ford truck and tested it in moab. its a very nifty unit. Also yes the hummer is getting the eaton E-locker and since it uses the same diff front and rear you can get another locker and install in up front. also the hummer is also going to be using a slectable anti-sway bar that can be disengaged to help the hummer flex off road but still corner like a car on road.
