Patients has never been my strong suite. I've run many locker in drag cars, with no ill effects, they do exactly what you want them to do. Its the road courses that I hated, stab the brakes coming into a turn, modulate the throttle through the turn, midway through the turn while on the ragged edge the locker would engage, upsetting the car(and the driver)started a 70mph drift. I never lost it, but came close a few times. Waveloc has smooth as butter through the turns, and grabs good when wide open throttle.
Who knows, maybe its my driving style, I'm always driving beyond my ability.
This is essentially how all my conversations came out. I talked with many people before I grabbed my locker from Roush a year ago. It really came down to personal preference and driving style. And none of us really know until we try it out.
Sounds like your waveloc has worked out for you. I have read nothing but problems with those things and people going back to true tracs.

It is funny how much conflicting info flies around on all the different sites. I have no real dog in the fight, just trying to keep someone from having the same headaches I did.
Can tell you I've seen 1500 hp thrown to a waveloc with stickys with no issues. I have personally swept up the shrapnel, and spent a lot of time cleaning crap out of axle tubes when the truetracs let go. They were stupid HP, slick cars, that should have been running a spool.
I do laugh at myself, hating that locker, but loving the dogring box. They are equally as violent, it just seems you can finesse the trans driving it right. The rear does what it wants when it wants. In the end a good driver can make anything work in his favor, but I ain't that guy.
I'm loosing my patience with you making me feel stupid, that's twice this week.
I did get a good laugh out of it though!!
Can't remember what I was texting the other day -- and the autocorrect made me say something else... and I didn't read it before I hit send... and then it's like --- DANG IT!!
Been waiting for some updates Rob. Looking good, the rear tire is right where it should be.
I run Detroits front and rear in my Bronco and there is nothing like......
"Steering by Detroit"
Is that pump in the 9" just for the cooler?
On some of the race cars I used to work on we used an external pump and dry sumped the diff and trans similar to an engine setup.
