I am just wondering, did you break the original that came with your 12 bolt, or did you change to this unit because its stronger?

WickEdSix98, are you running a V6 or am I reading things screwy?

Just asking because if your HP/TQ numbers are not that high, it may not be a true test....just curious.

Its a V6 and yea its probably not a true test. I started with this carrier though because I had heard to much crap with the Eaton.

Do you have the 33 spline axles? You have 4 series right? Is the tru-trac is as strong or stronger then a locker? I have the eaton posi in my 12 bolt and I am thinking about changing it due to hearing them breaking. I have 4.10's BTW...

Same here, my new eaton wont take 26" et drags, but has no problems with D/R. Even dry on the street it will bake the rears off. But get it in the water box w/ slicks on & nope 1 tire fire

I imagine the locker will be stronger. That's what the rock crawler guys use.
