E-locker in 9.5 14bolt?

[Irish1941]

Anybody have one or a pal have one?
My trans has gone out and 14 bolt SF gov-lock is on it's way as well so I'm looking at spending some $$$ before fall/winter desert camping season gets started.
I've read they seem to be good units but looking for real world opinions. Pins can wear if not a complete stop before flipping the switch etc...
ARB are out of the question nor do I need a 14 FF with a Detroit. I drive this thing to work. For what I do, if I break a 1.3" axle shaft on 33s, I shouldn't have been doing it.
Thanks in advance!

I hear people like them a lot because you can lock the rear axle for climbing, and it's a 4x4 set up that just works great. I meet a few guys who use them in jeeps.

Myself I wonder if a good posi would be a good compromise for my needs. I have a K20 with a 9.5 rear, and will have both my axles rebuilt in a couple months to match.

I've had e-locker in two trucks but in the front axle. I prefer something that automatically engages in the rear.

I've got the 9.5" semi-float in the back of my Jimmy with the Gov-Bomb. It hasn't blown up yet, but I'm still not very happy with it. I've thought about the eLocker, but they won't warranty it with anything but stock tires. I think for me I'm planning an Eaton posi. I do mud and snow and not rock crawling so I'm not planning on lifting a tire. I've got an Auburn LSD that I'm thinking about putting in the front.

After thinking about it and doing a load of reading, I'm just going to put a Detroit in. Only real bad reason against e-locker I can think of is the magnets will attract any metal in there. May or may not lead to it failing. I have read the lock pins do wear out as well.
I just want it done and forget it.
Now what to do with the front?

Tru trac in the front, button it up and done .
