what type of locker is best choice?

[Dave92270]

I wonder about the same and also how difficult is it to add the locker (I also have base/non-adv model unfortunately). I wouldn't do it myself, would let dealership install it. I love my truck and don't really want to look for a trade just in order to gain locker(s) if I could add at least rear locker somewhat easily.

yeah id deffinately let the pros handle that one. just wondering if one failed more than another one or if they are both pretty solid. I imagine electronic is the cheaper way to go but not sure

I wonder - couldn't Hummer dealership just install factory rear locker? Plus they could replace the control panel on the dashboard for the one with locker button (which our panels are missing) to have it all neat... I'd gladly pay couple of thousands for such a modification rather then trading-in my H3 low-milage (under 10k miles) for adventure model.

ive seen someone post on here that they had a dealership install an eaton elocker on theirs. and they put a button in one of the empty holes besides the lighter. Not sure what it cost and if they would trash a warranty with such a modification though. Maybe someone here that has done this or knows something would fill us in??

[Dave92270]

I think that I'll ask the dealership about what are my options. I want the locker really bad.

go with the Eaton ELocker. They are the most reliable ones out there period. That is why they use them from the factory.

I have the elocker in my front diff as well. and did the install myself. honestly its really not as hard to do as you think.

I like the ARB and have never heard bad about them that is why I went that way. Plus it it will be nice to have a small compressor onboard for emergency. A local shop I called wouldn't even install an Eaton E-locker for me but would put anything else in I would bring them. The guy said he is not a big fan of them so chooses not to do the installs.
