Product Description

The Eaton 225S10 Detroit Locker is a high-performance locking differential designed for GM 14-Bolt 10.5" full-floating rear axles. Instead of replacing the full housing, it replaces the internal spider/open differential components--ideal for builders who want traction without changing axle housing. It delivers 100% torque to both wheels under load yet allows differential action during turning for smooth everyday driving.

Engineered with 30-spline 1.50" diameter shafts, steel internals, and compatibility with "all gear ratios," the 225S10 is versatile for a wide range of GM trucks and vans from 1972-2012. Whether you're upgrading a work truck, off-road rig, or street cruiser, this locker delivers durability and traction you can count on.

Important installation notes: requires removal of thrust washers; must be full float rear axle housing; confirm your axle is a GM 14-Bolt 10.5" with 30-spline, 1.50" shafts before purchasing. Fitment verified through 2012. 2013-2025 unconfirmed for some models; check with your axle tag or service manual.
