Default which unit now...

after finding out my rear is busted along with possibly my trans I need to know opinions on LSD units. I dont want a true posi just because of tire wear/daily driving/parts wear issues.... I know lots of you have them and I have searched it but all I can seem to find are posts about older rearends... either the 27 or 28 spline (I dont know which).... any help would be much appreciated.

-just let me know what you have, how you like it to date, approx how much the unit costs (if you want)
I am not even sure I am completely aware of all the types of units out there for these 10-bolts...

I run a Eaton locker in my truck.I can't remember the price cause its been over a year since i had it installed...but it does a very good job for me. If it broke for some unknown reason...i'd get a second one in a heartbeat.I think i have around 32-35thousand miles on it so far.Works wonders.

Those Lock Right units are even more harsh on the road as a Detroit Locker. I'd highly recommend a Detroit True Trac or an Eaton.

TrueTrac here. Not harsh at all, and it works exactly like it's supposed to.
