Default Detroit Locker on the street????

OK guys, who's used one on a street car and how bad is the clunking???

Does the Detroit Locker affect handling in the twisties or is it just noisy?

Handling is good. Clunking is pretty bad, mostly in parking lots and when going from accel to decel or vise versa.

I went with a Detroit Tru-trac in my 9". I haven't put it in yet, but I have heard that they are pretty slick.

Lockers suck on the street, we sell mostly True Tracs now.

I vote tru-trac, we have one in the chevelle put cars not finished, I had this discussion today as a matter of fact. I spoke with another that runs a tru-trac and he loves it. Quiet and it works great!

Biggest 9" combo with a Tru-trac is with 31-spline axles. I'll have 1100+ ft/lbs or 1800+ ft/lbs with race gas from a Twin turbo BB...those axles and posi won't take that for long, I wouldn't think. That's why I'm considering a Detroit Locker with 35-spline axles....
