It's not that it sucks you into the turn, it's just suddenly not pushing you out of it. They work better in race cars, I wouldn't want one in a street driven pickup. Unlocked is good for turn in and throttle on you want both digging.

They quite will pull you in, if you have a heavy trailer pushing you down the on ramp.

My point is that they're an open differential on corner entry, so no different than an open diff or even G80 on corner entry.

Honestly my locker did just fine. I took sharp turns carefully, it was pouring rain the whole time as well. When going 80ish it did fine. Stopping was fine I just paced myself to a stop. The locker helped me back up as it was rainy and muddy on soft ground. I guess ya just gotta know how to work with it.

I have a Detroit locker in my 97 Dually and I love it. Its locked up 95% of the time, only time that I notice it is when its hot and I pull into a gas station, it thunks pretty violently. Bad enough people ask if I broke my truck or something.

Other than that its fantastic to have in snow, rain, ice, mud, grass, etc. I never notice it on dry highways.

its definitely nice in the winter. I didn’t need 4wd last winter because I never get one wheel peel. They both lock and move the truck.

Btw, I am making that trip to Arkansas anyways in about 3 weeks after all.

I know it'll be January and all, but make sure your AC is charged.

Thank you, I try and keep her tuned up cleaned up and fluid filmed up best I can since I’m in Upstate NY.

A Detroit Locker is *never* an open differential. EVER. That is the entire scope of their design.
