Looking for one of the coolest and most functional lockers on the market today? Stop your search with the Auburn ECTED Locker. The ECTED (Electronically Controlled Traction Enhancing Differential) is really the first ever locker that functions as a full locking differential or a limited slip differential at the touch of a button.
For trail use, it’s great to be fully locked. But traditional full-time lockers have never been street friendly. The
Auburn ECTED allows you to switch to limited slip mode at the touch of a button for street friendly performance and increased traction during wet or slippery road conditions.
Auburn makes an ECTED for every model Jeep axle including the AMC 20, Dana 30, Dana 35 and Dana 44.
Probably the most surprising feature on the ECTED is the price tag. For this kind of function and versatility you’d expect to pay up the wazoo. But the Auburn ECTED is reasonably priced at around $550, so your wallet and your wazoo will stay in good shape.
I am looking for a good selectable locker for the D35 on my TJ. I had thought of putting in an ECTED along with 30 spline axles, bit have read bad reviews of the ECTED (at least for the D30). I have also read about multiple problems for the ARBs. Does anyone have any input? Thanks.
Doug, I have a 93 YJ. Ford 8.8 rear, d44 front. I installed an ected in the rear and it has worked flawlessly. I’m running 37/12.5/15 with 4.56 gears and had no problems with engaging or disengaging. I recently swapped my d30 for a 44 in front and am installing an ected in the front also. I don’t anticipate any problems and hope it works as well as it does in the the rear.
Your article is not correct. Auburn does not make an Ected for every Jeep axle out there. The Chrysler 8.25 has been ignored by Auburn. They have no plans to make one for the 8.25, from the emails they have sent me. XJ and KJ owners are left in the back seat on this product.
