I found an oem Eaton locker for a 9.5 14bolt on a classified site and was wondering if anyone could tell me more about these units...?
The listing is as follows:
"EATON ELECTRIC LOCKER GM OEM 14 BOLT 9.5 NEW TAKE OUT
-FITS ALL RATIOS FLICK A SWITCH & BOTH REAR WHEELS DRIVE.
NEW GENERAL MOTORS OEM EATON E-LOCKER
FITS GM 9.5 REAR DIFFERENTIAL 14 BOLT SEMI FLOATER
33 SPLINE ONLY
THIS UNIT IS A NEW TAKE OUT, TAKEN OUT OF BRAND NEW GM DIFFERENTIAL AT THE FACTORY- NEVER DRIVEN
THIS UNIT HAS SOME SHIPPING DAMAGE, THE WIRE IS BROKEN AND SUPERFICIAL NICKS ON THE CASE.
There is a little bit of surface rust.
FITS ALL RATIOS 3.23, 3.42, 3.73, 4.10, 4.56 & up
WE TESTED IT,IT WORKS JUST FINE.
There are no other parts with this offering.
What you see is what you get.
The E-Locker's electromagnetic locking mechanism is the next generation of aftermarket differential technology. Performs as an open differential until you decide that you need more traction. Eaton E-Locker is your push Burton solution to almost any traction problem. when locked the E-Locker performs as a full locker, capturing 100% of available torque and sending it equally to both ends of the axle.
THE E-LOCKER SWITCHES AND WIRING HARNESS ARE NOT INCLUDED"
I was wondering if one of these units would work well in a DD/weekend off road unit, or if the application is totally incompatible?
I've never heard of these before so I have no idea how well they work or what sort of wiring would be involved to make this unit functionable... but the price is right if it could work.
