[Dr. Zaius]

I looked and didn't see where this was mentioned yet.

Some good news for those who have been looking for one of these.

What about the ‘23s? I need something to take up an aux switch!

Want

Hopefully this means they will start offering gearing options too! I don't want a front locker, but I do want to regear. Maybe they'll offer an open diff with new gears.

Nice! I probably will never need it but I'm watching now

 

[Dr. Zaius]

What I'd really like is a TrueTrac type differential for the front (helical gear driven LSD).

I have TrueTracs front and rear in my Jeep and they are awesome for anything except rock crawling. Automatic engagement and totally invisible until you need them.

I don't ever plan on rock crawling, but if that's on your agenda then a locker is the way to go.

Yea, but could it handle the curb at the mall?

I think, a locker is better than an open diff, but I would also like to see any other type of LSD.

If I'm not mistaken the m190 is basically an IFS Dana 30. I've done plenty of wheeling with a Dana 30. Locking one seems like a good way to break stuff.

Definitely nice that it is being released. Between air and electric lockers I prefer the electric lockers. Why you ask? Well you don't have to worry about a separate air compressor and lines that will leak over time. Yes there is technically a slight delay when engaged thanks to the ramp style engagement, but as long as you are not trying to be an ass then all should be good

Relatively sure Dana's had different gearsets available for awhile at this point...

Nothing for the m190 that I’ve found. Dana only offers the FDU with upgrades. I’d love a link if you’ve found something. The OE ring gears are welded to the carrier, so there are no options to replace the gears.

Same. I put the Eaton Trutrac on the rear for mine and just waiting to see if this is a possibility for the front as well!

@jleds Do you have the part number for the rear Trutrac you installed?

I’ll update this thread if Eaton ever replies to my customer service contact request or Instagram posts. If they offer gears to accompany the locked, I’ll buy them now. Front and rear locker, regeared.

I have to believe they’ll offer gears to go with the locker.
