Aftermarket lockers

[7.62fmj]

Well I was super excited to see that I could get a rear e locker from the factory that worked in all t case ranges unlike my Jeep (4 lo only) but I'm not crazy about the auto disengage with speed feature. Sometimes you need wheel speed like in mud to clear the tread and I don't want to worry about my locker disengaging.

Quick Google search didn't turn anything up. Are there any aftermarket electronic or auto lockers (like a detroit) for these trucks? All I saw was the true track limited slip and the eaton e locker which I believe is the factory piece.

There are no e-lockers out there for our trucks unfortunately. I'm currently having my dealer check if they can install a limited slip on my Laramie. Buy one with the locker!

Dang I was hoping for maybe a Detroit or something... Guess the only options are the factory clutch posi, factory locker , or the true trac gear lsd.

According to a gun on the Rams subreddit, his dealer said they can put rear locker in his truck for 3000. Sounds like the dealer is bsing to me.

$3K dang son!

Excuse me for being dumb and new. Does the no locker apply to just E-locker or a normal Detroit style friction locker as well. I have the dreaded open diff in my 21 and was hoping for just a bold in unit like i had installed in previous Ford 8.8's.

I don't think there's anything bolt on for open-diff DT Ram's unfortunately... from the factory or in aftermarket.

FWIW, if you are spinning the rear wheels, but fronts aren't going as fast the e-locker doesn't disengage. When playing in the snow, I cen engage the e-locker and have fun. Speedometer can show 50mph due to rear wheel spin, but if front wheels aren't turning that fast it keeps rear end locked.

I have noticed that also in a quick buzz up of the back wheels in 2wd lockered, but is watching the dash icon the only confirmation?

Damn when did this drop? I've been looking for a locker for my truck since I bought it.

 

[mirzaspeed]

Not sure but it’s the only aftermarket locker I’ve been able to find for our trucks. And it’s a reputable part company too

i want a front locker

i want a front locker

I put one in my Tacoma. Worst thing ever in the mud. Might be good crawling in a straight line though.

Eaton Detroit Trutrac is a great rear diff for on and off road. Zero maintenance too.

what do you mean zero maintenance

how easy was it to install

 

[HeavyRotation]

I just want a limited slip like my 05 CR had. Anyone have a part number for that? I hate the open diff.

Get the Eaton Detroit Trutrac. It works like an open diff until it needs to lock which happens automatically. I haven’t needed to use 4WD auto since installing it.

Eaton made it specifically for the Ram. Google it

The Trutrac has been around for a long time. It wasn't designs specifically for the RAM. Obviously the RAM specific one was, but not the product in general.

Semantics, do you have anything valuable to add or are you just wanting to respond to posts tonight?

It's not semantics. It's facts. Sorry to disappoint

 

[HSKR R/T]

This is why I hate forums.. either way you phrase it, doesn’t change the point I made. You responding like that clogs the thread and frankly it’s annoying.

It's a great unit indeed, but the Trutrac has been around a long time and wasn't designed specifically for the RAM. They make them for multiple applications not just the RAM. Just dont want people thinking it's some special exclusive part
