OK E-locker fans...anyone see or hear of any problems with the Eaton E-Locker - P/N 19822-010 for the Dana Super 35 only having three pinions? Haven't heard of any issues that couldn't be attributed to an over developed right foot or a momentary lapse of reason.

Not sure what the "Super" 35 is. I do have the 35 in the rear of mine.
The Super 35 is upgraded 30 spline axles (usually alloy) from the stock 27 spline axles and a locker of some sort. Usually a gear upgrade / ratio change as well, but that's just a knock-on and not really required for the "super" upgrade. The change from a 27 spline to a 30 spline axle is the money shot. It makes the Dana 35 much stronger and keeps the shafts from breaking. (lol, well, usually) The upgrade to a locker is required because there aren't any 30 spline carriers available for the Dana 35 that aren't an aftermarket locker.

A Super 35 kit is one way to beef up a TJ rear axle to support bigger tires, a locker and more abusive off road conditions. I happen to like the idea of keeping my Dana 35 in the rear for the conditions that I wheel in. It's a lot of bang for the buck and not overkill. Some go with a Ford 8.8, Dana 44 or Dana 60 rear axle. Those tend to be more work and expense unless you happen on to an already set up Dana 44 out of a TJ for a good price. Rare, but it does happen.

Super 35 with an Eaton E Locker sounds awesome. Following this thread as I haven't heard anything about issues with the dana 35 e-locker only having 3 pinions.

I kinda figured that's what it was. I don't beat my Jeep and go slow and easy with it, so that's why I figured I could get by with the Dana 35 with the E-locker. But I was reading several articles in here and for a peace of mind thinking about putting different axles in it. Is it too late since I already put the locker in it? I also went down to 4:56 gears. I think I still have the 27 spline in it.

There are chromoly 27 spline axles available that are stronger. If you want to run the 30's you have to buy a new locker.

Regarding the Eaton 19822-020 with 1-pinion mate shaft and its half shaft that secures it... how do the said shafts go inside the carrier in a Dana 35 rear diff? Anyone have a link with instructions? Thanks.
 
The main spider shaft is retained by the third spider shaft and a snap ring. It is actually a pretty good design as it eliminates the cross bolt other C clip riffs use.

And each shaft end has a spider gear attached to it, correct? That’s how I have mine currently reassembled, after the disc brake conversion, but wanted to make sure it was right.

Yes spiders ride on end of each shaft.
 
Though this is for @lowranger's 5 year old post, it may help someone who found his posts in a Search and the resulting bad information given in some replies. Avoid installing chromoly alloy aftermarket axle shafts like 4340 or 4140 in a Dana 35. Their heat treatment leaves the outer surface not hard enough for the type of raceless outer bearings used in a Dana 35.

This is what happens when a chromoly like 4340 is used in a Dana 35. You can see where its raceless bearings wore down through the surface.

Go strictly with 1541H, which is not an alloy and not chromoly, it's a heat treatment that will hold up to the raceless type of outer bearings in a Dana 35. 30 spline 1541H shafts are what come in better quality Super 35 kits like from www.revolutiongear.com

The problem I have with 27 spline 1541H shafts I see though is I don't believe they are strong enough for a locker. @mrblaine would know for sure though, he is the expert on Super 35 kits and 1541H, he is who with Superior Axle developed the Super 35 design.
