Rockwell lockers

Want to dropped two lockers on my m715 .... seems to have two choices ... they look similar but did someone have better feedbacks than other ??

Detroit locker or Ouverson Engineering ULTRA LOCKER

Look at the description under the pic .... the compared their to another one which in my mind look like a detroit ... maybe i'm wrong !!

So what you think about those lockers ??

I may have the detroit cheaper since i got cost price on all parts but didn't want any problems with thems !!

I used the OEM locker. They are machined from billet steel as opposed to the detroit which are Cast. The OEM is stronger.

However, I would have probably went with an ARB in the front (at least) if they were made when I built my truck.

Can it be possible to still get used oem lockers ??

You may already know about these guys, but it looks like they have lots of Rockwell parts.

I have never seen any. But since ARB has them on the market, people may pull the lockers they have, and sell them.

Randy is super great to talk to and his machining looks indestructible

I don't have anything from OEM. But, listening to people who have installed his lockers and lock out hubs, broke them, sent them back and Randy fixed them. things like running lock out hubs into concrete barriers and stuff or not installing the axle boots and letting the lock outs corrode from the inside out. All report that OEM takes care of his customers.

On the other hand, talking to Mike who owns:

He is not impressed with Randy from a distributor view point and has moved to another company I can not remember the name of right now. Contact Mike and he will take care of you with the best product he thinks is out there. Tell him I, Kwai, Sermis or gimpy sent you to him. He works on and wheels his own trucks and knows what is good and what is just fluff.

I was refering to ouverson when I stated OEM. I assumed Kamikaze12volts was too. However, I see now he may have been talking about a stock military locker ( I think they came in the Bridge trucks). Nevertheless, Ouverson lockers are made from billet steel. (at least they were a couple years ago when I bought them).
