when commenting on auto-lockers, I think everyone should always say if they're running a manual or auto-tranny.
most people I've heard saying their auto-locker is annoying drive a manual tranny.
I have an auto tranny and the Lockright in my Toy 8" is completely predictable and has never locked when I didn't want it to (or not lock when I did want it to).
I drove in town the jeep with an aw4 and the d44 with detroit and I didn't feel it or hear it (unless it's a tight turn then the tires chirped a bit but they did the same thing with stock limited slip). Then I swapped in my ax15 and took it out on the trail and again it's near invisible in sound.
I did have it make noise on the street though when I had uneven tire pressure (when they rotated and balanced my tires they filled up each tire differently). Anyways a few secs with the compressor fixed it.
this is an intersting point.. i am currently running the AW4 and the new rig thats getting all the drivetrain swapped over is an AX-15.... i can see how it would act differently, but never really thought about it...
Hmmm that sounds like a stretch as you're not supposed to "slam" the pressure onto the differential with the stick shift. If you do I think that shafts will be the least of your problems.

Yeah I heard that too. I don't know. When it broke we were on a real mild camping trip in the mountians. No hard wheeling at all. On the way home I noticed it was pulling hard to one side. The next time I went to back out of the driveway it wouldn't move in reverse and it would only pull on one wheel going forward. Took it apart and thats what I found.
I've had a no slip in my 8.25 and it wasn't noisy either. Maybe I was just lucky.... And you can ask anyone that ever was on a trail with me: I'm not too easy on the skinny pedal
oh and little rocks?? I use them to get to the big rocks arty:
Something that occured to me though is that part of the issues and problems that have with the lockers is gearing. With 4.88's I noticed that I'm way easier on the rig then when I was with 4.11's.
This is great info, should be ordering my Detroit in less than a month, and I was unassured about how it was going to behave on the street. Bookmarked! :cheers:
