ebay locker
« on: Apr 13, 2005, 01:04:44 PM »
Ok got the truck running and the locker installed.I put the rear on jack stand and spun the tires they both turn as it should be.When I drive it around corners I can not feel in unlock and lock again...

Is this normal? Detroit locker.

I can't really feel mine most of the time.  It is a little worn out and sometimes it will jerk the whole truck when it locked/unlocks.  I don't really like that so i am putting mine in the front.

Depends on how you are taking the corners. If you are coasting through them, it won't engage. When I first threw one in my Chevy, i was coasting into a corner and as I started around, I gave it a little gas, broke both tires loose, let up and it unlocked and I knew it worked. Be careful if you try this though that you don't throw the truck sideways.

Jack the rear up and have someone hold a tire and try to turn the other one.  You should here clicking and then it should lock.  Try this on each side and forwards and backwards.  If you can't feel or hear it on the street, something must not be right.   :twocents:
