Yo Pat,

What do you know about putting a locker in the front of my H2? :bigemo_harabe_net-110:

Eaton e-locker if its availible for you&#39;re application. I know there is no lockers availible for the IFS in 1/2tons, S-series, and Colorado/Canyons.........but there have been options for the 3/4ton. I&#39;m just not sure about the newer ones, I thought Chevy has switched from the Corparate axle to AAM.

I know ARB makes a locker for the front; but I am a shade tree mechanic (heavy on the shade).

Bob, I found this.............http://www.hummerxclub.com/tech/eaton.html

I actually like the Eaton Elocker better than an ARB, but thats just my opinion.

I also read a little on a Hummer forum and some guys where advising not to put a locker in the front or to use it sparingly as its easy to break CV shafts with one. Just something to think about.

Putting one in the front isn&#39;t nearly as easy as doing your rear axle, thats for sure(I do know you have one in the rear, just using an example)

Time for me to do a little more research. Ganz (his Screenname here) works on the H2 at the Milford Proving Grounds and we have talked a number of times about the concept.

Limited usage is exactly my intention. It would be one of those things in my arsenal; when I need it, I got it.

As for the half shafts - I carry one spare plus a few other parts that have proven to be troublesome over time. No matter the vehicle, if you&#39;re gonna wheel, you&#39;re gonna break something sooner or later.

I can get either locker for your H2, I would recomend the E-locker as well&#33;

I would check into what Mike read about breaking CV shafts before doing it though.

Labor for installing either locker would run around &#036;400

a ez locker for about 233.28 + shipping if any (DTS)

I would recommend a Lock-Right over an EZ Locker any day. The Lock-Right is a better unit and is only marginally more expensive

Since I have pirated Square Eyed Reo&#39;s thread; are you recommending the Lock-Right for both of us?

If you&#39;re thrifty

The more I delv into this the more I hear the lock rights are the loudest when "popping" and the aussie&#39;s are the quietest with a bunch of yea&#39;s for the ez locker .

I really like what I&#39;ve heard about the aussie.

Jarhead ..I&#39;ll share just remember when I need a tow I&#39;ll expect to see a hummer pulling me out.
