I want to put a Detroit locker in the rear of my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.
I called Eaton today and they said that it is not a direct replacement in the TJ Rubicon.
They said to use the locker for 3.73 and lower numerically gear ratio even though I have the stock 4.10 gears.

What are the issues and are there any problems installing a Detroit locker in my stock Dana 44 Rubicon rear differential???

Is there any how to install info on line??

Thanks in advance for any help and info.

This is not a DIY project. You will need to engage a professional to install the locker. Have you ever driven a rig with a detroit in the rear? Don't get me wrong, I love the detroit and would never use anything different but the detroit locker does have some characteristics on the road that you have to get used to.
