Detroit Lockers at Just Differentials

Toyota Detroit Lockers​

The legendary Detroit Locker began the revolution in performance differentials and still leads the industry today as an Eaton brand. The Detroit Locker is the most durable and dependable locking differential available.

The Detroit Locker maximizes traction by delivering 100% of the torque to both drive wheels. It is engineered to keep both wheels in a constant drive mode, and has the ability to automatically allow wheel speed differentiation when required. Applications are also available for C-Clip style axles.

No other performance differential has the reputation for delivering traction in mud, snow, rocks and on the track. The choice of professional racers and off-road enthusiasts around the world! The durability of the Detroit Locker is unmatched!

If you are trying to decide between a Detroit (mechanical locker) and an ARB or E locker (selectable locker), check this out. We carry a number of different mechanical and selectable lockers, so if you need help choosing the perfect differential for your application give us a call at 866 349 6801 or email us at info@justdifferentials.com


Mechanical Lockers:
(Detroit, Powertrax, Lock Right)

• Mechanical lockers engage automatically when force is applied to the differential via the pinion and ring gear. While force is not actively being applied, springs in the locker allow the mechanism to disengage. That is to say that when you press on the gas it locks up, when you let off the gas and turn it unlocks.
• Mechanical lockers are well know for the popping and clanking noises they make when engaging and disengaging.
• Mechanical lockers can be installed in front differentials but you must have lock out hubs and they MUST be unlocked for on-road driving because of steering issues.

Selectable Locker:
(ARB, TJM, OX, Auburn ECTED, Eaton E-Locker)

• Selectable lockers fall into 3 categories - Air, electric and manual.
• Air lockers use compressed air from a vehicle-mounted air compressor to engage the locking mechanism.
• Electric lockers use an electrical pulse to engage a magnetic locking device.
• Manual lockers (OX) must be engaged by pulling a cord, usually requiring the driver to exit the vehicle (although many OX can be upgraded to electric).
• Air and electric lockers can be activated by a switch inside the vehicle.
• Selectable lockers are fully locked when engaged and function as an open differential when not engaged.
• Some electric lockers function as a limited-slip differential when not engaged.
