Re: Detroit or Auburn

Those are the two best and both different...locker vs posi.I had an Auburn in my`90 Blazer with 12.50/33s and really was happy with it.It was like it wasn`t there until you needed more bite.The locker is great for serious traction and less road friendly.Although you just need to drive accordingly.It may be harder on a 12-bolt if you really dog it.

Re: Detroit or Auburn

Special-K is right, the Auburn is much more street friendly.

Re: Detroit or Auburn

I have a locker in my daily driver. You definitely have to pay attention on wet roads.
