I run it, no problems, it is not a DD anymore but was for a while with my wife driving it. The longer wheelbase plus an auto tranny makes the rear locker much easier to deal with.

I hate mine. Yes it works offroad. It is noisy and likes to give the occasional CLUNK. It sounds like a bunch of garbage is getting ground up in my rear diff. I'm seriously considering a spool. I would rather hear tire chirp than the noise this junk-rite makes.

Ouch, those are some harsh words.
I have a lock-rite in the rear. Yes it does make noise, but it doesn't really bother me at all. Definately does what it should when I need it though. Just wish I had one in the front.

IMO the best lunchbox locker on the market is the aussielocker...
and in most cases - its one of the cheapest...
their attention to tolerances is very detailed... and that is what ill run in the front - they dont make one for the ford 9" yet, but they do have them out for the 8.8

I know Jeepkid8037 has one in his 8.8. From what I can tell he likes it. It cherps a lot more then my Detroit on the corners, but its deff. a lot less expensive.XJ_ranger said:

lock rights were great but are loud as hell and have awful road manners(when in the rear) my no slip is much much better behaved. if it is a dd i would suggest to no slip over the lock right. dont know if they make it for a 8.8 though

I have an Aussie in my 8.8. The tolerances, as stated above are very tight. And it does click in turns but I usually can't hear it unless im listening, with the windows and music down. Never had a problem with it not locking up either. Can chirp it in any turn I want.

Yeah, I'm running the aussie locker in my 8.8 and it has done everything that i expected. Its very easy to control and the noise is minimal. As said before, with some music on you dont even notice the clicking. I only have 2 regrets....
1. not locking the front axle
2. wasting money on regearing the d30...shit always breaks
If your on a budget and running 35's or under the aussie locker is a great choice. Around $200 and you can install it yourself.
