I can confirm it works well with an F250 but be prepared to deal with axle modifications. It’s worth it for better traction!
Make sure you have a reliable air compressor and check the wiring before installation. Bad connections can lead to issues later on.
Great point! Also, I would recommend double-checking that your E-locker switch placement is accessible.

The actual installation took longer than I anticipated. I had a friend help me, which made things much smoother. Any tips on making the process quicker?

I found that having all the tools ready and organized helped a lot. Also, consult the installation manual carefully; it saves time in the long run.

I was skeptical about the price, but after installation, I believe it’s worth it for the performance gain. Anyone else feeling the same?
Absolutely! But I also think it’s important to consider the maintenance. Some people may underestimate that aspect.

Has anyone experienced any reliability issues post-installation? I’m worried about that.
I haven’t had any issues, but I always do regular checks on the wiring and solenoid to avoid surprises! Safety first!
If I had a dollar for every modification I had to make, I could fund my next project! This installation takes patience, for sure.
Haha, no kidding! I thought I’d have it done in a day but ended up working late into the night.

What was the hardest part of the installation for you all? For me, it was aligning everything properly, but I learned a lot.
I recently installed the Dana 60 E-Locker, and I must say the installation was straightforward. Just make sure to have a good torque wrench handy. As for comparisons, it seems to excel in rock crawling but can struggle in mud due to its electronic nature.
That’s a great point, Kyleriley. I found the ARB lockers perform better in muddy conditions. They’re air-operated, which gives them an advantage in those situations.
I have used both the Dana 60 E-Locker and the Eaton E-Locker. The Eaton tends to be more durable but is pricier. The Dana is definitely less expensive and offers good performance for most scenarios.
I agree, Roberts! I think price plays a big factor in decision-making. Have you noticed any performance differences in rock crawling specifically?

For me, the Dana 60 E-Locker shines in performance vs. price! Great value for those who don’t want to break the bank while getting solid features. But, I guess personal needs vary significantly.

I totally get the value perspective, Margaret! I’ve heard that the Yukon zip lockers can also be a good balance between cost and functionality. Has anyone had experience with those?

I installed a Yukon zip locker years ago. It’s been reliable but requires a bit more maintenance compared to the E-Locker. Overall, if you’re looking for low maintenance, I’d lean towards the Dana.
Good to know! I think I’ll stick with the Dana for my next upgrade. Less maintenance is always a win when you’re on the trail!
