No experience with a 14bolt but I like the Eaton posi in my 8.6 which they also make for a 9.5. I feel the torque sensing LSDs are more predictable than the wheel speed differential sensing lockers. So my vote would be the eaton posi or truetrac, whichever is cheaper. I believe Yukon makes a copy of eaton labeled the Duragrip and Standard gear copies the Truetrac with the Valuetrac.

I'm curious to see how my factory locker engages in my Z71. I know when I put it in 4low it's solid locked...

Im running a yukon duragrip. I dont have many miles on it since i just installed it this past sunday, but ut has great reviews and is very bank account friendly. I got gears, the duragrip unit and installation kit for 500 to my door. But, mine is a 10 bolt 8.6.

I have a 14 bolt in my 03 and I really like the Eaton Detroit Truetrac thats in it. The engagement is predictable and it doesn't have wearable parts like other diffs.

My Eaton posi has worked great for the last 5+ years.
