Default adding a locker 2013

Has anyone gone the aftermarket route on their rear end? Getting quotes to get a detroit tru trac installed or has anyone added the factory E locker to an open diff truck? My next question if anyone knows the answer, Yes i know if i go with the aftermarket that it will not be covered under factory warranty I'm okay with that, I am not okay with my whole trucks powertrain warranty being disqualified. any answers will be greatly appreciated.

I replaced my open diff./e-locker carrier with a Truetrac LS.
I don't think it will disqualify the whole powertrain warranty.

Did you do it yourself or shop and which set up exactly did you use?

I had a shop do it. But it's my friend's shop so I got my special discount rate. I only paid $100.
He just removed the stock carrier and installed carrier bearings (side bearings) on the Truetrac, installed the ring gear and installed the Truetrac. All I needed for parts was the Truetrac, new carrier bearings and new non-synthetic gear oil.

I'm interested in doing the same - found this helpful thread.

I was told this was the right model # for a 2013 3.31 along with this advice: It is something that you can install but definitely set aside a full 8 hours to do it and the key is to have patience with the setup and gear tooth pattern checks by folks from here: Filthy Motorsports
