i just bought a detroit e-z locker 2 weeks ago and installed it and it was working fine then it kept on disengaging and engaging so i called customer service and they said send it back well i am and getting my money back. so what locker should i get i was thinking about the super 35 kit. what do yall think about it i only do mud ridin once a month with 33s' in the future thanx
Detroit locker is probably the best. I had a lockright in the rear of my amc20 for 3-4 years and found it good, but the detroit locker is supposedly stronger, and is much smoother than the lockright. It's worth the extra $$$. That's what i have in my dana 44 rearend, and it's a good product. No problems with it on the street. Looking forward to some more snow soon.

I'd wait till you can swap in a d44 rear or d44's front and rear and then get a detroit. I wouldn't put a lot into the d35 look for a used lockright or something like that that's cheep enough that you can sell your old axle for what you have into it. Most likely you can't sell a d35 even w/ a super 35 kit for $800 but you could probably sell a d35 w/ a lockright already installed in it for $200 most likely. For the cost of a super 35 kit you could probably find a d44 from an xj and get a detroit if you found a good deal. Looking at the drivetrain direct ad the super 35 is $879 and a d44 Detroit is $489, consider the fact that you will need an install kit which runs about $79 that leaves you $311 to find a d44 from an 87-89 xj w/ a tow pkg. Or look into swapping front and rear d44's from a grand waggy.
I have a dana 44 and a detroit full case.When I had my mechanic put it in he said to run a oil modifyer.i havent seen it stated in the manual to run the modifyer and sometimes it really bangs.But otherwise i don't hear any gear wind or anything so I assume all is good.
My jeep may be ugly to some.But she's a beauty in my eyes.
A Ford 8.8 sounds like it would be a good swap candidate for him as well. Easier to find (than an XJ/MJ Dana 44), 5x4.5" pattern, possibility of getting one with stock disc brakes...
I got the modifyer from local dodge dealer.Maybe the mechanic wasn't to sure about his installation I don't know but it works fine no complaints.
