aussies work just fine in some applications, at least in my experience they've worked best in the long wheel base 3/4 ton (9 - 10 inch rear end) style vehicles

I ran them for a bit after i busted my detroit locker in my cheyenne, detroit sent me a replacement after i sent them the busted locker but it took a few weeks, and at the time i was wheeling daily and the local parts house had.. i want to say it was lockright but I could be mistaken

i busted a lockright as well, i had a tendancy of snapping driveshafts, busting pinions, breaking rings etc

a friend of mine had a scout, he tried the box locker style and it never did work right and he ended up going with one of those electronic lockers

i don't think the box lockers go through a ton of testing per application model, similar to the jet chips

it's cheep enough to make them, more expensive to test them fully (like arb does with theirs) so naturally you encounter applications where they do not perform correctly or cause other problems

the DTT is a very fine piece of equipment and requires less other additional items such as a compressor

so you've got lots of options, just the cheepest 200 dollar options have been deemed not to work so hot with this app

I've been poking around the 'web and it looks like the 29-spline 8.25 Aussie has fitment issues. IIRC, the release on this unit was promsed & delayed more than once for technical reasons. That is a shame.
