Re: locker in your diff?

I love them.You just have to drive like you have a locker...drift the corners and be aware of why these aren`t in every vehicle,your average driver.it takes paying attention to what you`ve got and that`s alot to ask of most people,it seems.I`m all about what I`m driving,so that`s second nature for me.
i`ve never noticed any difference in fuel consumption and my tires never suffer.I rotate every 5,000 miles anyway.I had two `72 3/4t 4wds,a Chevy (No-Spin/locker) and a GMC (Lok-Right/limited slip).The Chevy had 4.10s,35s,4spd,and SBC400.The GMC has 3.54s,33s,TH350,and 350.Both trucks got 12.5 mpg.If I hit the throttle a bit heavy (just a bit) pulling out while turning in my GMC,the inner tire chirps.
