Post Auborn L/S for F250

I was wondering if anybody has used an Auborn limited slip diff in the rear of there F250? I was just wondering how well it worked compared to other company's limited slip diff's?

Auburns are great, as long as they work. They wear out eventually and when they do, they're scrap. They cannot be rebuilt.
While they are working, they stay locked longer, slip less and relock sooner than just about any other LSD you can buy. How long do they last? I know one serious autocrosser who trashed one in less than two seasons, but that's EXTREME abuse. Unless you're racing or doing some serious offroading, you'll be OK with the Traction-Lok which will live approximately forever and can be rebuilt if you do wear it out.

What is Traction-loc and what manufacture are they from? Also how much would it cost for my application? I have a ford 10.25 rear end.

Is this a pretty bullet proof unit and will this be all I need for mild mud and some back yard adventures? Also how much will it cost for 10.25inch rear diff?
