Detroit vs. Yukon grizzly... your results?

Well, the welded diff in my rear 8" finally let loose so its time to pull the trigger and stick a full case auto locker in there. I've run a Detroit in the front and rear of a jeep YJ happily for years but they can be quirky on the road. I'm interested in the Yukon and its claims of smoother operation and greater strength. Yes-no?
My truck isn't a daily driver but it certainly is no trailer queen. Its welded front and rear (well, untill this last trip) so clearly anything but a spool will make it more road friendly... just want your overall opinion and the "like one better than the other because" thoughts... Currently leaning towards Yukon based on their claims over the Detroit. (nothing I havent liked about detroits other than unloading unpredictably; I've never broke one)

I've got a Yukon Grizzly in the rear diff, and after a year of on and off road it's been operating flawlessly. I hardly know it's there - until it's needed!

:happy:
 
Thanks!

I know the warranty is good.. just rather not have to use it. Its nice to know you've had it awhile and never pay it attention.. speaks volumes! So as it stands now Grizzly it is. gonna put the order in in the next few days.. any other input untill then is always appreciated!
 
They are basically the same thing, both from great companies. I run a detroit and would highly suggest it, I have friends that run grizzly lockers and they love them.
I'm thinking when I get some extra cash I will throw a yukon zip locker in my front axle.
