Wanted the opinion of guys with real world expirience on the subject of Auburn gear. I heard they work well off road but noisey and bind on pavement. I wonder about the longevity of this product also.
Anyone using an Auburn gear lmt slip?

I wouldint bother with it.. Buy a locker and be done with it..

Had one in an S-10 Blazer a few years back. It never made any noise, seemed to work well untill I really needed it. If you get stuck real bad, (like in the middle of Kane Creek in the mud) and your engine or gears can't produce enough wheel spin it won't engage and is then useless. Just my opinion.

Had one in the front of my 40 for 4 years, no problems. The Detroit is better and cheaper. I put the detroit in the rear and an ARB in the front. Monster Traction!

Mine was pretty much like a well behaved locker on 31"s and slightly better than open on 35"s. I figure it wears out birfs but won't let em break.
I have one in the rear. I broke it trying to take some junipers out of my front yard 
Besides that, for what I use the vehicle for, 95% road 5% off-road, it's a lot better than open. I can't even tell it is back there when driving on the road which was the biggest concern to me since my wife drives it sometimes. For the most part it engages when one tire slips but isn't as good as a locker.
