Supposedly if you use the tazer and hook the lockers to your factory locker switches something isn't right with the voltage. They weren't fully engaging, and if you turned with them the locking gears would slip and the teeth would break. Currie even says on there website it would void any warranty with them if you set them up that way. Other people have said it was because of covid and parts restrictions. I'm hooking mine up to my AUX switches to make sure they get a full and constant 12 volts. Again, this is all hearsay, and what some people have told me.

That has been corrected and Currie may be pulling that from their site last I heard. The early adaptors had an issue.

Legitimate question here. What issues have you seen with the E locker? As a trail leader at the Easter Jeep Safari, I saw that 100% of the time if someone was having problems with their locker not working, it was an ARB air locker.
I've been lucky and no issues with ARB air lockers (except the shop that did the install wired them backwards and the front switch locked the rear and the rear switch locked the front).

If I end up getting a Rubi axle in the front I'd most likely use the e locker it comes with though to avoid having to buy another air locker.

I have seen broken side gears and the engagement gears for the locker. Eaton has several versions of the locker making it hard to get replacement parts. Almost everyone I know that got E lockers has replaced them with ARB's around here. It is something with the D60 ones.

Yes I have seen issues with ARB's but most are setup issues or unregulated air sources.
Thanks. That is good information.
