Allen:

I asked about this topic a few weeks ago. Eaton appears to be the only source that is developing a unit. As you know, the Traction Control currently takes the place of a Front Locker, so I'm not sure how a Front Locker might pair with the TC system on the H2.

I'd think that the TC would have to be overrided, since the front axle will be locked and there's no longer a requirement for the system to send torque to the wheel with less rotation (i.e. more grip)? I like the predictability of Lockers, compared to the Traction Control that can engage when it feels appropriate. The downside to Front Lockers is that the rig can drive a bit "jerkey" on harder surfaces like packed dirt [especially when turning].
