Eaton Drops New ELocker And Truetrac Limited-Slip Differentials At Easter Jeep Safari

Crawling over the slick rock formations of Moab requires serious drivetrain reliability. Thousands of four-wheel-drive enthusiasts flock to the annual Easter Jeep Safari looking for the absolute best aftermarket upgrades to safely conquer these legendary trails. Intelligent power management company Eaton utilized this iconic gathering to reveal two brand-new differentials designed specifically for heavy-duty diesel trucks and popular trail rigs.

Diesel truck owners who constantly haul heavy equipment or tow massive fifth-wheel trailers need maximum traction on the pavement and the dirt. Eaton answered that call by releasing a 31-spline Detroit Truetrac limited-slip differential. Engineers built this highly rugged unit to fit the massive 11.5-inch rear axles found underneath the 2020 and newer Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD pickup trucks.

The engineering team also brought something special to the Utah desert for the dedicated rock crawling crowd. Drivers pushing their older vehicles through the brutal Easter Jeep Safari obstacles can now install a 35-spline electronic locking differential. This selectable locker fits perfectly inside standard Dana 44 axles across the JK, TJ, LJ, and CJ platforms to provide instant traction and massive durability upgrades.

Steve Case, director at Eaton Mobility Group, explained the strategy behind these specific product launches. Case stated: “Eaton’s aftermarket team continues to listen to feedback from our customers and build on our momentum of adding new performance upgrades for popular vehicles in North America.”

This aggressive expansion proves the manufacturer remains deeply committed to the modern off-road driving community. Over the last few years alone, the company successfully introduced 25 unique differential models for various automotive platforms. Fans can even expect another massive reveal this November when a remarkably strong ramp-style Dana 60 ELocker officially debuts at the SEMA Show.

Upgrading factory axles with premium aftermarket components gives drivers the ultimate peace of mind when venturing far off the grid. Anyone inspired by the recent Easter Jeep Safari debuts can easily order these two highly capable new traction devices through the extensive United States distribution network right now.
