You aren't talking about a detroit locker then. A detroit locker replaces your carrier within your axle housing. And as I mentioned before, I don't believe there is one available for our axle yet. The ring gear is actually bolted to the locker, so it has to match up to the gear as well as have the proper fit for our axle shaft diameter and spline count. The detroit locker is an auto-locker, so it can't be disabled at the drivers choosing, and they definately have nothing to do with the hubs. What your buddy is probably thinking is that his K5's Dana 44 axle assembly is the same as the Titan's Dana 44, unfortunately they aren't.
