Towing a TT with Lockers
Does anyone tow their TT and have a locker in the rear? I'm looking at re-gearing my truck to 4:10, and adding a locker in there at the same time. THanks

The eaton locker is generally speaking, the most positive rated Locker/LS style in the off road rags. Detroit, while almost always locked, does have issues in slippery conditions. LS's sometimes due to clutches will not always lock as well as one would like. The Eaton seems to be the BEST general road mannered, and positive locking per say.
BUT, with this in mind, I try to buy ALL my rigs with some kind of LS/Locker from the factory. It is better than none at all. If you buy a GM, it has an Eaton locker in the 8 lug models.
I've towed in ALL conditions with an Eaton and 4wd. Works very well. Even one day I want up a local mtn pass in rwd when Chains were required with out any slippage. Did not do 4wd until the parking lot. This rig in rwd did about as well most places as previous truck with an open rear in 4wd. In 4wd with the locker, even better yet.
