Should I get a locker?
Should I get a locker?
Alright guys, I currently have a brand new eaton posi and a set of 3.42's ready to finally go in after a long time of just sitting there collecting dust. My car is a daily driver, and has occasional track duty. I already have the front sway bar removed and a set of drag radials on the back, so corner carving is not a concern, just street/strip, and money is not a concern either. Should I buy a locker and sell the eaton, or should I just go ahead and install the eaton?

Is the Eaton a "Gov-Loc"? If it is, then sell it on ebay and get a real posi. I was a dum-azz and bought one of these units for $50.00 new off ebay 2.5 years ago, and had it installed last year before I knew that they were actually "Grenade-Locs". Very weak and prone to breakage behind a V8. Now I have to baby it till I have the money for somthing else.

Stick with the Eaton. It is a really good unit and you shouldn't need anything more serious than that with your L03 (even with your juice plans).

yes, it is the limited slip like shifty posted. No need to reply though as I have decided to stick with the eaton. Sometimes I ponder so hard on my setup I get to thinking stupid thoughts and want to change things for dumb reasons.
