7.5" diff locker? what are you talking about. I know of only 2 e-lockers, the 8" and the LC 9.75". Is there something else out there? I have a LSD from a MKII supra that will fit the 7.5 ifs, taco or pickup if anyone is interested. I got a steal on an arb and didn't end up using it.

I know what problem you're talking about, and it had me worried about my e-locker at first, then I went out and wheeled the crap out of it and had no problems. I think most people that are having problems with them are running too large of a tire for the locker, they aren't made to withstand a tire larger than a 35 and apparently a 35 is even pushing it depending on how you wheel. Personally, I'm going to keep my e-locker for right now as I'll be staying with 33's for a while 'till I chop the front end off my truck. Eventually I'll throw ARB's in. Another downfall to the e-locker is that if something does break in the diff on the trail, you can't just swap any other 8" toyota third in there, it has to be an e-locker third.
