Re: locker in your diff?

I ran a Detroit in a 14bolt FF with a 454 and SM465 4 speed for several years. I drove it on the street and off road with 40" Regul Trailblazers and pulled with it a few times with some 35" Ground Hawgs. It never got what you would call good mileage, but I wouldn't say it was the locker's fault. It would growl the tire if you didn't "coast" a turn on the street, you always knew it was back there. I just had to drive it like it was there. I can be done, it's just not the greatest thing for a daily driver.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
