I am planning on putting a lunchbox locker into my D30 Front. I have an already very noisy Lock-Rite in the back and I am trying to get away from getting more noise. My choices are Aussie (On BACK ORDER), Powertrax No Slip, Lock Rite, or Detroits EZ locker.

Which is the least noisy?

I have an aussie. Its not too loud. You really hear it chattering around tight corners like pulling into parking spaces and such. I like it tho. Cheaper than the others and as many have said it possibly the best thing for the 30 in terms on lunch box lockers

I have a No-Slip in my D30 and it's pretty quiet.

Where are you in the L.A. area? You can test drive my Jeep.

In my own experience I have the Powertrax and I highly DON'T recommend it. It may be quieter but it has not worked when I needed it the most. This occurs often and it's only been in since December. I have had two sheared front U joints from it unlocking and then hard relocking. I ran the lockright in the rear and at the time I wish I would have installed one of those in the front. After using both I saved up and just bought ARB's for both ends and did away with the auto lockers all together.

What is wrong with the EZ locker? Curious since I've run them in a Scout II and never noticed anything but good traction when wheeling. They make a slight clicking sound when turning sharp but they all do that.

4 years now on my Aussie. Works great and very quiet, never let me down. Synthetic gear oil works very well to keep them quiet and smooth.
