Somehow this got lost in the ether...so...
Mark-
Your original question is "Is a Detroit Locker worth it".? <Personal Opinion
MODE on> In a word, YES.? Once you have the locker in the car, you will wonder
how you ever drove without it.? It does take a little "getting used to" as it
moves the car around a bit when it engages.? But, the ability to apply power
and actually steer and even tighten a turn under power is amazing.? I have
never blamed the locker for getting me into a "sticky wicket", but it sure has
saved me more than a time or two with its ability to apply "full load" when
needed.?
That said, 50 year old axles are not exactly the safest thing to be using these
days.? The locker will indeed put extra loads on your axles.? I would think
twice if I had to run stock axles with decent tires.? I am soo glad my car is
an IRS car and I have utilized Chevy stuff back there.?
Thanks for the locker Kas...
????????? No longer limited in the "slip" department...

Subject: [Fot] detroit locker
Hi Everyone,
I have been offered a detroit locker for a TR4 at a great price. I was
previously considering a quaife unit, but it is much more expensive. I
have been running an open diff until now. Is it worth the extra money
for the quaife? I am running a solid axle TR4, and I plan to upgrade
my halfshafts at the same time. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
