Been running my Detroit Locker for over 6 years now and 99% of the time I dont even realize it is a locker. I dont know what causes the problems some say they have but mine has never given me any problems at all and I have driven it in the rain with my Hoosier radial slicks 3 times now and it handles great on turns. How can it not as it unlocks one wheel as soon as I start turning and most of the time I cant feel it when it locks back up after going straight again. Course I drive it easy when I get caught in the rain but I know mine is way better then a spool would be in a turn. I dont hammer it when in turns either as I would think most also dont lay into their cars in a turn. Honestly I love it in my street/strip car and I can hardly ever even tell it has a locker in when driving it. Ron
