Oh man...I love my new locker!
I guess the biggest thing different about it is EVERY time I step on the gas, exiting a left turn, exiting a right turn, in a decreasing radius sweeper, increasing radius sweeper, in the wet...doesn't matter...every time it does exactly the same thing. Once you engage the throttle, the locker locks up and both wheels pull. It has taken a limited traction issue that I used to have to drive around completely out of the picture.
The one oddity of it I guess you could say is a loud clunk it sometimes makes on corner entry when it releases the outside wheel so it can spin faster. It does it to varying degrees...I'm assuming based on how much bind is built up in the locker before it releases. I'm pretty used to it now about 50 autocross runs in the car with it, but the first few times it sure freaked me out. The clunk does NOT upset the car at all and I can tell you this...I've raced the car with the locker several times now on wet courses and contrary to what a lot of people think, the car is very fast in the wet with the locker set up like this.
So...I hope that shows just how happy I am with it.
I will say this though, when we took it apart to swap out the springs...we found some "abnormalities" with how the locker was assembled which were corrected before it was put back together. I now suggest to everyone I talk with that buys a new carrier to take it apart and inspect it before installing it in the car. I'm certain the issue we found would have caused problems down the road but was easy enough to correct once an assembly diagram was located.
