I love my ARBs, had my rear for 2 years and front for a year and have never had any problems.

What about the Detroit Electrac?

Eaton and Detroit merged.

Rackman has eaton e lockers. Think he had some trouble. You can find his posts on them on JU. He goes under Rackman there too.

Rackman had the Electrac which require you to run THEIR diff cover because of a shift collar built into it.

The Eaton E-Locker is a stand alone unit, can be run with any cover, and is simply toggled from locked to unlocked with an electrical charge. If you tore a line, you could re-wire it VERY easily, or run it up to your batt hard-wired for the rest of the day, or just leave it unlocked. If/When it fails, it will be left in the open position. Its a full carrier replacement and VERY beefy.

Only pic I got:

Happy with mine,
