I love the locker project! Able makes great stuff. I have his nanny kill switch. I'm running an ARB up front and actually am pretty happy with the factory locker in the rear so far, but traction is usually pretty good in Colorado where I am. I thought I would want a sway bar disconnect but so far the heavy diesel Megacab seems to be able to push through the Thuren sway bar without much trouble. You still can't beat fully disconnecting I'm sure. And the rear locker where you have limited slip or locked is awesome!

Thank you! The quality sure seems like it's high with his components. And he was able to get me exactly what I wanted and quickly. Win/win IMO.

And yes I could go all ARB, But I actually just do not want to deal with air lockers. I think the factory components will be plenty. Spoke to a rep at AAM, and the torsion E-Locker was built to the same strength as the standard torsion differential. So the strength is the same, just with the added locker capability. So no issues there with the Cummins, which I was glad to hear. Especially for the cost of them.

Got even more parts in. And front sway bar I picked up from another guy on PW Registry for cheap. Should be here next week. So I'm looking forward to that.

CAD delete will be nice. Dynatrac Free spin and the billet 1550 joints should work well.

Also while researching things, I forgot I need to do a hydraulic assist on the steering for the 40's, so I'll need to get the PSC stuff coming eventually.

Those are some seriously drool-worthy parts!

Thanks brother. Have a REALLY long lost of parts coming over the next few months. And excited to get it all together over the winter and ready for the next season.

You've officially surpassed me in the madness department lol. This is going to be an epic Stage 3 of your build.

I'm sure there will be more. I plan on keeping this girl. Just making improvements as I can to capability, comfort, and technology as things progress.

I saw that a while back but I've never seen one in the wild. I believe it's just vaporware. It's not available through them, and there is no information online about them. AAM factory locker is a known quantity, and I know after speaking to them the strength is there for anything I'd ever put it up against.

If you find it isn't just pipe dream information, and that it's actually something available, I'd like to see it regardless however.

Dynatrac is using auburn elocker in their 40 spline dana 80 versions, so I'd assume it pretty stout.

I'm not worried about that as much as if it even exists. I've never seen one. And I've talked to a few resellers. Zero information online about them. Makes me wonder if it's either new, or was something about to hit the market but never did. So I went back to the plan of just using AAM once I spoke to them about the strength of the unit. Didn't really question if the Auburn was or not.
