Vehicle Fitment

Vehicles with Dana 44 4-pinion Eaton ELocker rear or front axle assemblies (various makes/models & years that use the 4-pinion ELocker Dana 44)

Fitment Notes

Service kit for Eaton ELocker differentials only; not compatible with open, clutch, helical or other limited-slip differentials without ELocker internals.
Specifically for 4-pinion variants of Dana 44 ELocker.
Drivetrain: 4-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles using Dana 44 4-pinion ELockers; position applies where the ELocker is installed (front or rear depending on vehicle) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Fitment confirmed in OE & aftermarket catalogs as recent; 2025 year verification not explicitly listed - 2025 unconfirmed.

Product Description

The Eaton 26982-00S is a stator/armature service kit for the Dana 44 4-pinion Eaton ELocker differential. The ELocker is Eaton's electromagnetic locking differential: in open conditions it behaves like a standard open differential, but when commanded (via switch or control system) it locks to provide full torque to both wheels. Over time, magnetic components like the stator and armature can wear, lose magnetic performance, or suffer damage from debris, heat, or wear. This service kit provides genuine Eaton components to restore locking performance and reliability in these critical parts of the ELocker mechanism.

If your vehicle has a Dana 44 ELocker 4-pinion axle and you're experiencing symptoms like delayed or inconsistent lock engagement, loss of full lock strength, noise or drag when locked, or visible wear in the magnetic stator components, this kit is appropriate. Installation involves disassembling the ELocker stator housing, removing the old stator and armature, installing the new stator/armature parts with correct bearing race, thrust bearing, and retaining ring, ensuring proper seating and clearance. Fitment through recent years is validated; however 2025 use must be checked via the vehicle's axle tag and Eaton's catalog to confirm that your ELocker uses the 4-pinion stator design that matches this part. 2025 unconfirmed.
