Eaton Detroit Locker Diff 35 Spline 1.50in Axle Shaft Dia Rear 10.25in/10.5in (Full Float Only)

This Eaton Detroit Locker differential is built with 35 spline axle shafts and is designed for rear axles with a 10.25-inch or 10.5-inch ring gear diameter. It's specifically for full-float rear axle applications, meaning the axle shafts only handle torque and not the vehicle's weight. This is a serious piece of hardware for anyone looking to maximize traction, whether you're navigating tough trails or need reliable grip in challenging conditions. Its robust design ensures both wheels are always driven, even if one loses contact with the ground, providing 100% automatic locking in forward and reverse.

The Detroit Locker is a well-known name for a reason. Its unique, bullet-proof design is a clutchless, maintenance-free system. This means fewer parts to worry about and no need for special fluids or adjustments. The internal mechanism engages automatically when you apply throttle, locking the axle shafts together to ensure both wheels turn at the same speed. When you let off the gas, it disengages, allowing for easier steering on pavement. This automatic operation makes it suitable for a wide range of vehicles, from work vans like the Ford E-Series to off-road icons like the Ford Bronco.

Installation involves setting up the differential within the axle housing, which requires specialized tools and knowledge. It's crucial to ensure proper gear mesh and backlash for smooth operation and longevity. Because this is a full-float axle application, you'll be working with axle shafts that are separate from the hub assembly. This differential is a solid option for those who demand consistent, maximum traction without driver intervention, making it a popular choice for heavy-duty trucks and off-road vehicles.
