If you are talking about the Eaton elocker found in a titan.
Packman is correct. Reason why, the h233 found in a titan is a hybrid axle. To my knowledge the carrier and gears are not interchangeable with any other version of h233b.

The titan has a Hybrid dana 44, not a h233b.

i guess i just have to put a locker in it btw my 2002 nissan frontier with 4x4(stock) has drumbrakes so is it the h233b 31 spline or 33 and thanks for all the help from all of you im just starting to 4x4 for the first time and im lovin it more and more
The pros are that it can be locked and unlocked from inside the cab, and it is a solid unit that lasts. The cons are that it can leak at the least opertune moment, and cause you to not make an obstacle. Installation is detailed and takes a fair amount of work and can be difficult for some folks. I don't know what other locker options you have, but if a lockright is finnally available, those can be easy to install. I personally use a Detroit Locker, love it.

but do you think i would have a hard time installing the Detroit Locker im not a complete moron when its comes to cars but diffs are unfamiliar grounds to me
For a 33 spline h233b here are no mechanical locker options. ARB air locker is your only option.
Axles are intimidating because you never have a reason to work on them. once you open one up you will easily see how everything goes together. Make sure you follow the book, take your measurements, and set everything back up as it was within the limits in the book.
In regards with lockers. all your old play spots will no longer be any fun. Before I could never spin my tires on pavement. Now I have to barley tap the gas. I would never go back to an open diff.
4x4parts.com has the ARB listed for $720 and that's the best I've seen lately. Then you need a compressor, that's $150 for one to run the locker or $250 for one you could also air tires with. Hoses cost about $70. So it is right around $1000 before installation. I haven't locked my X yet. I've been told the locker is not toooo hard to install and I've also been told you'd be nuts to do your own if you've never done it before. I think that when I finally go for it I will pull the third member off the rear axle and take that and the locker to the shop to have it put in the diff and that I'll mount the compressor myself.
I talked to the 4WheelParts place here in town about it and they wanted about 10% more on all the parts and then $300 or $400 for the locker and compressor install. Their quote came to like $1500 total. I can take a lot of straps for $1500 but I'm getting tired of it.
1500 is a pretty penny. I paid $450 for my Detroit and $600 for my calmini r200lsd.
The gear set up is not very complicated. There is a write-up on gear set up in the how-to section. Continue to do extensive research. if you have access to a full shop you can do everything yourself.
i cant speak for my self about an air locker. I've seen several arb air locker set up's. The air pump, tanks and lines are all simple concepts. Nothing you cant do if you are a gear head kind of guy.
If the gear set up is to complicated, drop the third and pay a shop to do it for you. Should not be more than a couple of hundred dollars. If you do all the "grunt" work you should be able to get everything done for under $1000
